Trout

Trout is a creative alias of Cesca. The name is associated with indie, garage rock, ambient, indietronica and related alternative styles.

The act is described as a Glasgow-based live band performing in the mid-1990s, with a memorable set at a Treason in the Park event in Queens Park, Glasgow. That performance is characterised as moving between a stripped-down, Stooges-like grind and chaotic, comic disorder.

The lineup mentioned in the account includes Willie and Kenny, with Willie playing guitar and Kenny on drums. The band is noted for its ability to write songs and for a live presence that combines rough-edged rock performance with humour and unpredictability. The image of the skull scarf is also linked with the act.

The songs are presented as drawing on stories of east-end escapes and west-end scrapes, and the set is remembered for its mix of strong songwriting and unruly stage behaviour.
