Cream Calendar Trey Deuce Club at The 5 Spot Aug. 7
Posted by D Patrick Rodgers on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 11:44 AM
So if you aren't familiar with Trey Deuce Club, well then that's your loss. This is an old-school group of badass cats that make the other collectives in town look like gaggles of disorganized children, and they're about to have another compilation available for our listening pleasure. They'll be celebrating the release of Trey Deuce Club Vol. 2 at our favorite boozy East Side haunt on Aug. 7. Here's the lineup:
D. Striker (even though it isn't Friday the 13th)
* OMF and Duraluxe both have new tunes available via their Bandcamp sites. So seriously, click the links and go listen.

"Boozy East Side Haunt"? I guarantee that's the first time the 5 spot has been referred to by that.

Oh hey Dean. Well, a lot of these guys have been around making pretty great music in various projects for a long while. Trey Deuce outdates Holly House, Infinity Cat...possibly even Movement Nashville. I'll have to do some fact checking to confirm that one.
D. Striker sent along a history of the Deuce:
"Trey Deuce Club comes from the title of Ole Mossy Face's first EP in 2003. http://olemossyface.bandcamp.com/album/trey-deuce-club. (Coincidently, "We Own This Town" comes from the Ole Mossy Face's song, "Calls and Walls," the first song from the first WOTT podcast. The song appears on OMF's Carnival Work).
The band's founding members, Casey Sanders and Mason Vickery, were introduced by way of a classified ad placed in the Scene. Mason and I were putting together a band to play D. Striker songs. Turned out Casey had songs too, and he and Mason started up Ole Mossy Face. Along the way, they met Derek Wolfe who fronts Sad Apartment. Derek joined OMF, and Casey and Mason joined Sad Apartment. Where they met Joe Bidewell, he had songs too. When Joe needed players for gigs, Casey and Mason filled in.
This is what Trey Deuce Club has come to be—everybody helping each other out for music. When Matt Moody moved to Nashville, Casey and Mason helped him to gig out as Hands Down Eugene. Matt returned the favor by playing bass for OMF and D. Striker. Before long, Andy Willhite was contributing to all.
Troy Daugherty and Megan Morrison moved Duraluxe to Nashville, soon thereafter Mason was their roommate and in the band. Troy started playing with everyone else. Everyone backs-up Megan. Taylor Joiner moved to Nashville and, well, you get the idea.
In 2006, we made our alliances official, bundled up a batch of songs for a Trey Deuce Club Vol. 1 compilation, and passed out CDs at a show at The Basement.
Eventually photographer Thomas Petillo took note of the same revolving cast of characters in all these different bands. He herded the cats to his studio in July of 2008 for a photo that appeared in No Depression’s first bookazine. http://www.nodepression.com/Books_Bookazine.aspx"
Verifiably old school. Of all the reasons to form a collective or club or crew of any sort, I'd have to say pooling members in order to work together, create a community and have fun is probably the best.
