A Troop of Echoes
Muscular bass. Agile saxophone. Propulsive drums. Lithe guitar. In a music scene where many bands claim almost-divine levels of inspiration and originality (while still all sounding curiously alike), A Troop of Echoes shelves the self- important melodrama and delivers finely-crafted rock songs with addictive melodies, informed by exploratory harmony and the noisy experimentalism of Providence, RI. The brutal meets the beautiful.
Gear
Yamaha drums and saxophones. Fender guitar and bass guitar. Traynor and Ampeg amplifiers. Sabian and Paiste cymbals. Realistic synthesizer.

"As the head of local avant-electro/punk/jazz quartet A Troop of Echoes, Peter Gilli wields his saxophone onstage like a musical bludgeon: fierce, aggressive, precise, and uncompromising. " -Christopher Curley Interrobang Magazine
“…(a) proggy blend of modern indie rock and jazzy elements like A Love Supreme-style sax and skittering drums… Your mind will simultaneously be blown and sucked through some magic neon paper towel roll/funnel/jazz-tube, thing.” -Eric Smith Providence Daily Dose
