I was reading up on the band King Missile<\/a> [wikipedia], now known as King Missile III, and saw that Wikipedia said “Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players member, Rachel Trachtenburg, has served a subsitute bass guitar player for King Missile.” The group name Trachenberg Family Slideshow Players<\/a><\/em> was enough to pique my interest. As the name implied, the group consists of the Trachtenberg family: Jason Trachtenburg<\/a>, his wife Tina Pina Trachtenburg and their daughter Rachel Pina Trachtenburg<\/a> (yes, it’s the 13 year old daughter who’s played for King Missile). They perform to a series of slides that they collected from “estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores, etc.” but I think Eugene Mirman<\/a> sums them up best:<\/p>\n

I think the Trachtenburgs are basically like a really fun Batman, where it’s sort of like revenge against not fun, i.e. it’s very fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can get an idea of what their performances look and sound like on youtube, but here’s one of their catchier videos for a song called Mountain Trip to Japan, 1959:

They look like they would be wicked awesome live, so I’ve added them to the list of bands that I check periodically for local<\/strike> regional shows.<\/p>\n
