Venice Gas House Trolley is a cerebral groove. Based out of Madison, WI, the band initially hearkens back to ancient times when folks would freak out digging ecstatic poets and musicians and then explodes through the present and into the future with vocal effects, bass, and twisting rhythms. The group’s sound and content encompasses groovy funk, aggressive jam, tribal rock, high and lonesome country, avant-garde jazz and ambient chill. The group features the words and voice of Adam Gregory Pergament, a finalist for the 2009 MNSWA “Urban Griot” International/National Performer of the Year and two time Madison Area Music Awards finalist. Tim Peeters, a Madison Area Music Award winner is on bass. Josh Pultorak is on drums
