Lakewaves Trio, Tlalok Rodriguez
Catch the groove-heavy LAKEWAVES TRIO at Bar Centro MKE for a night of immersive, psychedelic instrumentalism!
Synthesizer Graffiti & Sonic Alchemy
LAKEWAVES TRIO is led by eccentric Madison keyboardist Graham Marlowe, who operates as a true "synthesizer graffiti artist," with a trippy playing style directly inspired by the illicit, raw, and entirely spontaneous nature of street art. Leaving a unique, unrepeatable sonic tag on every room they play, he layers classical, New Age and avant-garde keys over customized, improvisational samples.
A Stratospheric Rhythm Section
The magic of their "ambient prog-funk" sound lives in a hyper-connected foundation:
Mason "Mamo" Aumanstal (Bass): Operating as the band's resident "groove mechanic," Mason anchors the low end with flawless rhythmic precision, bridging deep jazz structures with heavy, visceral basslines.
Will Bailey (Drums): Providing the band's "virtuosic chill," Will handles the drum kit with an effortless, stratospheric pocket, guiding the group's dynamic range from quiet, atmospheric drones to exploding, high-intensity grooves.
Together, they boast over six hours of original material, effortlessly transforming unexpected covers into dreamy, room-tailored jams.
A Heavyweight Milwaukee Collaboration
Fresh off their national showcase at Infrasound 2026, the Trio returns to Wisconsin to team up with local icon Tlalok Rodriguez. Coming from a century-long lineage of composers, Rodriguez brings a multi-genre mastery spanning jazz, R&B, and vibrant Latin rhythms.
He will kick off the night with an intimate, genre-bending solo set. Afterward, he will join forces on stage with Lakewaves Trio for an unforgettable, multi-layered bass and rhythm spectacle. Come experience what listeners call the ultimate "Cosmic Bowling Night" for your ears.
