One of the best experiences was unintentionally driving to Old Town Temecula and playing Trocadero all the way, not realizing it'd be the perfect soundtrack.
Didn't discover a cartoon till season 4 but fell in love with a band hearing Vale Deah. Still to this day Shotgun and When were Soldiers round out my top 3.
One of my favourite memories with your band was when I took my musician friend and his SO to another place, he told me, "Hey, put on some tunes." I decided to queue up "A Girl Named Tex." He was so impressed by it, and really appreciated that nod to the "Yellow Rose of Texas" song. He loved your work.
Here’s to not just Red Vs Blue, of which seasons 6 through 13 aired alongside and eased the difficulty of some of the hardest moments of my life, but to the best band ever, of all time, Trocadero. Your music is why I have so much good to remember, why the moral lessons of what was originally a show about standing around and talking have stuck with me, why I try to be a better person tomorrow than I was yesterday. Thanks for the memories.
Trocadero's albums were one of the first I went out of my way to buy when I got into music. With most bands, I'd curate 1 or 2 tracks as favourites but 95% of all Trocadero's tracks became 'must listen to again/put in a playlist'. I will absolutley be purchasing this, to support you and say 'this time, I was there'.
This show was one of the most important things in my childhood, and know it feels like that part of my childhood is being put to rest. It's the emptiest filing in the world
Great music from a great group for a great show. Yet Trocadero has earned its own stand-alone right to be great. I don’t know if this means Trocadero is moving on from RvB forever, and if it is maybe it’s yet another sign RvB should call it, but if so I will always remember the impact the Trocadero had on the show and on our lives. Truly superb art.
y'all remain my favorite band. i still have my roses are red, violets are blue and Ghosts That Linger CDs. i love them, if you printed more i'd totally get more copies. i missed out on Flying By Wire. always bummed me out! much love ❤ stay fire 🔥 friends
