TRS-80 (group)

TRS-80 (group)

TRS-80 is the name of a Chicago-based electronica group, noted for their live performances which are a blend of live playing, and video projections synchronized with their music. They describe themselves as being an "experimental trip-hop ambient dub drum n' bass" group, with "heavy hip-hop beats, and warm analog synths", and are often compared to Boards of Canada, Autechre, and Aphex Twin.

Founded in 1997, they signed to independent record label File Thirteen Records in 2002 to release their fourth studio album, entitled "Shake Hands With Danger".

Since then they have toured the US and Canada, and been featured on CSI: NY and an ad campaign for Coca-Cola. They recently switched to LA based independent record label One Cell Records, releasing their album "Mystery Crash" on August 1st 2006. Not long after that release, TRS 80 released "Demixes", which is a compilation of remixes of the tracks in "Mystery Crash". In 2008, TRS 80 released the LP "The New You".

A clip from their song "Bees Inside" (from the album Backup: 01) was featured in a Coca Cola commercial.
