"We know who you are, and we're not impressed." --Modesto Police

We're just returned from a trip into the Great White North, a fabulous 1500-mile voyage to Seattle, via Eugene and Portland. Check out the harrowing and titalating details of our journey at the Trash Orchestra Blog. The trip cost the band about a thousand dollars. Would you be willing to kick-in $100 to help with the journey? Trash Orchestra is a grassroots shoestring endeavor. Your cash will help fight tyranny. |
 Trash Orchestra played for Santa Cruz Roller Girls, May 10th.

Upcoming Performances
| River Arts Festival San Lorenzo Park |
Sundays May 18th 11:30 Santa Cruz, CA |
| According to the website, this is an exciting new annual festival celebrating the Monterey Bay's rich cultural and natural resources. The park's bench lands will be transformed into the "Piazza di San Lorenzo", an aesthetic contemporary arts and crafts marketplace. We will be celebrating the diversity of our town's tremendous cultural riches and creativity in the very same park in which Santa Cruz police daily chase out modern day hobos and troubadours. | |
| Fourth of Juplaya Black Rock Playa |
July 3rd-6th Gerlach, Nevada |
| Like Burning Man back in the day, back when we started going in '93. The infinite desert, explosives, and bone-shaking trash percussion. | |
| Weekly Practice & Performance San Lorenzo Park, near the Courthouse |
Sundays 3-5pm Santa Cruz |
| Every practice is also a performance (but then again, every performance is also practice). As much as possible we try to blur the line between practice and performance, participants and spectators. Come join us and play with us. If you are interested in possibly being invited to join Trash Orchestra, this is the best way for us to try each other out. | |
