The Karl Hendricks Rock Band

about

The Karl Hendricks Rock Band is a variation of the Karl Hendricks Trio. The Trio has released seven albums, toured, and occasionally plays as a four-piece rock band. The first version of the Rock Band featured Matt Jencik (Hurl, Taking Pictures, and Implodes), while this newer version featured Alexei Plotnicov (Midnite Snake) on guitar. The latest Karl Hendricks album was 2007's The World Says as the Rock Band. The rhythm section features Jake Leger on drums and Corey Layman (Developer) on bass. Hendricks, as he always has, plays guitar, sings and writes the songs. The Trio is still active in Pittsburgh, preparing for an eighth album, going out on short tours and playing occasional local shows. The moody, muscular indie-rock band dubbed the Karl Hendricks Trio formed in 1991 following the break-up of their nominal leader's previous band, Sludgehammer. Hendricks, a singer-guitarist born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1970, first began writing songs and releasing cassettes while in his teens; while working a day job in a record store, he formed the Trio with bassist Tim Parker and drummer Tom Hoffman. The band played their first show on New Year's Eve 1991 and recorded their first album a couple of weeks later. Released on LP on Hendricks' own label, 1992's Buick Electra garnered national attention and sold out quickly. The Trio recorded two albums worth of material during the later months of 1992, and early in 1993, the mini-album Some Girls Like Cigarettes was released as a
