Biography

Garage a Trois started as a quick one-off improvised session that grew out of sessions originally done for Stanton Moore's All Kooked Out! album in 1999. The lineup -- Charlie Hunter on his eight-string guitar, Moore on drums, and Skerik on sax -- was basically the same for both projects, but the sound was quite different. On All Kooked Out!, the sound was upbeat and funky but Mysteryfunk (the first Garage a Trois recording) was darker and more atmospheric. Released only on vinyl, Mysteryfunk seemed destined to be the only Garage a Trois recording, but four years later Garage a Trois was back, augmented by percussionist Mike Dillon and with Skerik playing more than just sax. Emphasizer was the result, and with that, it appeared Garage a Trois was to be an ongoing project despite the busy schedules of all concerned. Outre Mer was next in 2005, a soundtrack to the French film of the same name.
