Lost Tricks

National TV debut on Fearless Music -



LOST TRICKS might be one part “Lost” but it’s mostly about the “Tricks” – the secret ingredient that separates the Brooklyn based band from your average piano rock assemblage. It’s a sense of playful edge and experimentation that seamlessly combines with the group’s rare qualities of timeless melody and concise hooks.



KEEP IT TOGETHER marks LOST TRICKS’ fourth independent release and the band’s first collaboration with ANDROS RODRIGUEZ (Justin Timberlake, !!!, The Raconteurs) who engineered, mixed, and co-produced the album (on a speculative deal) at Quad Studios in Times Square.



Their work also included ELIOT SLOAN of BLESSED UNION OF SOULS (eight Top40 hits) who joined in on the track “Something Out Of Nothing.” The tune features the guest performance of Sloan and will also be included on the soundtrack of the upcoming movie ALICE staring Penny Marshall and Luke Perry.



After completing the album the group processed the first six tracks through Platinum Blue’s (music consulting company) unique computer program that predicts “hits” with up to 80% accuracy. And on a mathematical level, all six of the songs came back as hits.



Singer and songwriter Trev Oswalt grew up under the evergreens of Oregon and currently resides under a blue bridge in Brooklyn. He has been singing and playing non-stop from a young age. As a performer and actor, he has worked all over the world including performances from Los Angeles to Moscow and has appeared in both television and film including shows such as “Third Watch”, “Law & Order”, and the movie HITCH with Will Smith.



LOST TRICKS’ live act is powerful, combining an organic immediacy that is as raw as it is personal and sincere. Formed in 2003, and currently consisting of Trev banging s, Dave Smith occasionally slapping bass, and Scott Morehouse on acoustic and electronic drums, is performing throughout the East Coast and beyond while shopping for management and label representation.

'This is probably the first time you may have heard of this rising phenomenon but mark my words, these gentlemen are about to explode onto the musical scene and take the nation by storm. This band is the next big thing, so sit back, enjoy this EP and watch their success rapidly grow - they will instantly gain a place in your heart.'

- Geoff Dellinger, Entertainment World



"Lost Tricks is damn cool, and certainly some of the catchiest straight-ahead melodic pop to arrive in some time. "Freeman" is the kind of earnest, piano anthem that recalls the best tracks on Keane's recent disc. A top-down, summer's day driving tune, the song would put a smile on the face of even the most jaded pop cynic. It's all very lush, atmospheric and heart-on-your-sleeve, without sounding overblown. Lost Tricks' debut has no agenda other than creating soaring, infectious pop melodies. On that level, the band succeeds brilliantly."

'Lost Tricks is original. They're a windows-down-in-the-summer kind of band.

Lost Tricks doesn't try to do too much and they hit all the bases. Lyrics to make the ladies cry and the guys relate: check. Presentation of a friggin' rock song: check.

This isn't to say that Lost Tricks is a one-note band. They can rock out, too, as evidenced on "FreeMan". And Lost Tricks seem to have a lot more ability than the one-off rock piano acts of late like Something Corporate and they don't come off as whiny, like Coldplay's current incarnation. Lost Tricks is a good band. Simply.'
