Artist Biography
Trin Tran, the one-man band project of Xerobot's Steve Coombs, began in 2001 with an all-live, no-overdubs approach. Coombs sang and played guitar, drums, and keyboards simultaneously, working out a rugged post-punk sound owing much to Devo, the Fall, Klaus Nomi, and the more explosive rock influences that guided Xerobot. Recorded output existed in the form of CD-Rs and a 7" or two until the release of 2007's Grows a Rose. Sometime in the early 2010s, Ty Segall discovered Trin Tran and reissued older recordings on his God? imprint in the form of 2012's Dark Radar. This was followed by an EP of new material in 2014 entitled Far Reaches, released on John Dwyer's Castle Face label. ~ Fred Thomas
