Drummer Alex Trajano is a seasoned mainstay of the Detroit music scene who puts eclecticism and creativity at the top of his agenda. Trajano has performed with the finest of Detroit and Ann Arbor and has performed widely in the U.S., Europe, and Scandinavia. He is also a founding member of Blue Dog. The group’s latest release is an improvised sound track to Jean Cocteau’s 1938 avant silent film Blood of a Poet.
As owner of Thrilla Park Recording Laboratory in Clawson, Trajano has produced CDs for artists ranging from Marcus Belgrave to Iggy Pop. ThrillaPark transforms into an intimate, inviting performance space/gallery to host the infamous "sessions@west14mile." The series, assembled by Trajano and guitarist Ryan Mackstaller, is a recording session of two widely varied groups in front of an audience while adjoining rooms become a gallery to exhibit visual art. In October, Trajano debuted a group project concept at Ann Arbor's 2005 Edgefest called Bright Out.
