Facts:
Short biography:
The band is on the road since 1989, the year when the first album untitled 'Borderline Sydroma' came out on the legendary french recordlabel Gougnaf Movement in France.
Long time passed since then, more than 8oo concerts, hundreds of thousands of kilometers done, 9 albums, many different people with many different instruments and influences.
The matter of fact is that Trottel is in a permanent change and transformation. Each tour, each recording is a new challenge and each new member brings new musical inspiration into this amoba-like project.
What is this thing what makes us feel that it's still not enough of kilometers? What is it what makes always new people to join Trottel for a shorter or longer time? I don't know. But certainly the same thing what makes them leave after a certain time spent while living this lifestyle...
However it is and whatever it is, being on the road for us is always the biggest inspiration. Meeting people and communicating also through the music is what we are here for and it doesnt matter if the concert takes place in a strange looking house in the middle of nowhere or the biggest festival of Europe. From Bosnia to Scotland, from Italy to Danmark, from Poland to France, the motivation is the same.
But enough of the philosophy! Music is music and the way we like it, it's something interesting, emotional, surprising, sometimes breathtaking, colorfull, sometimes nervous other times quiet and gentle..just like life itself.
A long journey through time and space, this is what we can share with you all with the help of the music. Energy, some magic and some black and white reality.
Salt, pepper and paprika!
Just call it a big celebration of eclectica!

The Music:
Everybody is always searching desperately for the right terminology, the right definition for Trottel's music. Then the music changes again. The closest is to say ' Psychedelic road movie' as this music is like a film about life with all the influences what life can bring. Or, Trottel' real style is Eclectica in the sense that it's always a mixture of styles from progressive folk to progressive punk…and alternative because the approach of the band to the different styles of music is not the usual standard approach but always but something more. Rita' s strong relation to folk music definitely brings Trottel closer to folk but they 'll never be a folk band. It's electronic music too as they use electronic instruments and sound but they aren't an electro band neighter. G plays drum 'n bass beats on a folky tune or punky rhythms for an electro song while the bass sometimes gives you the impression you could be listening to an experimental band.
It's free music for free people and Interesting music for curious people
It is now something between Psychedelia, Folk, Groove and Electronica.
'..Psychedelic treatment of sound, psychedelia like an open-minded
attitude more than a 'category' of music: acoustic, electric,
electronic potions, sonic alchemies, magic atmospheres and musicians like
explorers in a creative kaleidoscope.... ' / Radio Onda d' Urto, Milano
