"The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players are an American, self-described 'indie-vaudeville conceptual art-rock pop band' originally from Seattle, WA, and currently based out of New York, NY. The line up consists of the Trachtenburg family itself: father Jason Trachtenburg plays guitar, piano, and sings; mother Tina Piña runs the slide projector and provides as a backup singer; and daughter Rachel plays the drums and sings. Born on December 10, 1993, Rachel was only six years old when she began performing publicly.
Their trademark is the slideshow itself: slides collected from 'estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores, etc.', are constantly shown in order to 'turn the lives of annonymous (sic) strangers into pop-rock musical exposes based on the contents of these slide collections'. The band sings about such things that occurred in the places shown in the slides, such as public execution (Mountain Trip To Japan, 1959) or McDonald's' competitors 'using network television to take advantage of efficiency.' (Wendy's, Sambo's and Long John Silver's)
Jason Trachtenburg is also a solo artist. In 2000, he released his debut album, Revolutions Per Minute on Orange Recordings. His second album, Together, was released in 2006. They have recorded on Bar None Records, Tired and Lonesome Records, Cass Records and Sarathan Records. They also performed at the first Gel conference in 2003."
