about
The Karl Hendricks Trio is a rock band from Pittsburgh. They have released seven albums, toured, and have occasionally played as a four-piece rock band. Now firmly a trio again, the band's latest album was 2007's The World Says (with Alexei Plotnicov as a second guitarist). The current line-up includes Jake Leger on drums and Corey Layman (Developer, Red Star Sky) on bass. Hendricks, as he always has, plays guitar, sings and writes the songs. 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 10". A few months later, Misery and Women was released and the band toured for the first time. In 1994, Buick Electra was reissued on CD. The Trio's next new album was 1995's A Gesture of Kindness, the first recorded by Brian Paulson, who would also work
