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, & preteen drummer Rachel Piña Trachtenburg) live a nomadic lifestyle, driving from show to show at diverse venues & spending little time in their two hometowns of Seattle & NYC. 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, & 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.
