GA $15 advance, $20 door

Opening set by Sonido Clash resident DJs 8 – 8:45pm
Troker 9 – 10:30pm

Born in different states from Mexico, the six musicians in Troker have diverse musical backgrounds, which add richness to their music: jazz, rock, funk, psychedelic, hip hop, and even cumbia is explored in their vibrant compositions.

They began in 2004 as a bar band in Guadalajara (where they now live) and learned how to get an audience on its feet, found their voice, and developed a personal, unique sound in the process.

Troker is an instrumental hard-groove band that fuses jazz, rock, and funk with anything they find on the way, leaving behind a Mexican flair. After 10 years of juxtaposing pulp fiction-esque vamps and high-stakes musicianship, Troker knows what it takes to move a crowd.
