Telling On Trixie is a New York City rock band created from a partnership of opposites- the introverted guitarist and the extroverted lead singer who bring out the best in one another to create something bigger than themselves. On their self-titled, debut album, you can hear the seamless result of two very different people (singer Derek Nicoletto and guitarist Brad Small) joining together to create music with skill and passion – and it’s music that is already substantially impacting listeners. This band tells you it’s OK to sass your ex, to want out of the bad relationship, to not do your homework, to make mistakes, to let go and have some f*ing fun. They tell you that everyone is taking everything too G.D. seriously and that there’s hope in every single sucky situation. At their live shows they tell you to be present, identify, and get out of your head. They are telling you that even the loudest of guys sometimes feels like hiding; even the shyest of guys can play rock music on huge stages for rowdy fans. This month, those fans will include 3 million listeners on Sirius Radio.

Featured on MTV Logo’s “Best of 2007,” the debut video, co-starring ANTM star Jade Cole, has played everywhere from MTV to 300+ Harley Davidson retail stores. It’s been a great way to introduce the band to audiences on a national level. The debut album is in rotation on hundreds of stations nationwide, ranking as high as 2 on several stations’ College Music Journal Top 30 charts. Among the first to spin the album was Jonathan Clarke of Q104.3 in New York, KWSS FM in Phoenix and Mondo Blu in Spain. Several nationwide festival, club and college dates support their debut release, including CMJ Music Marathon, the Cincinnati Midpoint Music Festival, NYC Pride, MMC12 and Red Gorilla during SXSW 2008. Within 6 months, Budweiser had named Telling on Trixie a Premiere Band, featuring them on Budweiser.com.

Billboard Magazine’s Songwriting Panel said of Telling on Trixie, “Interesting themes and catchy grooves…the talent is obvious.”

Tommy Kessler, lead guitarist, is endorsed by Jason Z. Schroeder Guitars, Electro Harmonix Pedals and Keely Pedals. Matt Aronoff is endorsed by many swooning audience members and some girls in a Cincinnati club restroom. Andrew Frawley endorses himself.
