Biography

The offbeat Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are not so much a band as they are an art project. Deriving their song topics from vintage slides of random family vacations, the trio (keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Jason Trachtenburg, slide projector/costume designer Tina Piña Trachtenburg, and preteen drummer Rachel Piña Trachtenburg) live a nomadic lifestyle, driving from show to show at diverse venues and spending little time in their two hometowns of Seattle and New York City. Due to the constant travel, Rachel, who began drumming at age six, attends an alternative school in Seattle. The Trachtenburgs have opened for They Might Be Giants, and became the first unsigned act to play on Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Their debut album, Vintage Slide Collections from Seattle, Vol. 1, was given proper release on Bar/None Records.
