Trocadero was made popular by making the soundtrack for Red Vs. Blue, an internet machinima comedy.


Trocadero is a band based in Cambridge, Massachusetts that consists of Nico Audy-Rowland, Martha Williams, Jeff Williams and Brandon Erdos. Other guest musicians include Philadelphia Telepants, Sandy Casey, Susan Hsia, and Karen Langlie. They are most famous for creating the theme to the popular machinima series Red vs Blue, “Blood Gulch Blues,” as well as other music for the series such as “A Girl Named Tex”. Music for one of Rooster Teeth’s other series, The Strangerhood, including the theme song “Crazy Zoo,” is being provided by Trocadero’s Audy-Rowland in collaboration with Jeff Williams, forming a band called The Uggos.

The band is known for its diverse styles of music. Its signature element is the polyphonic blending of the voices of Nico and Wendy (now Nico and Martha). Instruments used by the band include drums, several kinds of keyboards, vocals, piano, violin, viola, guitars, and banjos. The song genres are even more diverse; the band’s first CD includes tracks that are strongly influenced by the blues, disco, spirituals, western narrative, and many types of rock. In addition, one of the songs, “Oh Five!”, is a brief Hawaiian intermission piece.

A second CD is currently in works and is set to be released in 2007. The song “Alien Champion”, which plays during the end credits of the Red vs Blue season 3 DVD, will be included on the CD.

    Every time I listen to First Wave, it sends a shiver up my spine.

    I recently got back into the RvB scene and finally bought Trocadero's albums from Amazon.com. Ghosts That Linger is fricken awesome. I'm really happy that RvB helped get them the exposure they deserve.

    To those wanting an mp3 of Colors... To create my copy of it, I ripped the audio from the season 5 DVD using some software called (oddly enough) DVD Audio Extractor. I then used mpTrim to remove any unnecessary audio from the beginning and end. I don't know if they used the entire song for the ending credits, but it seemed like it and it works well. Of course this solution only works if you have the season 5 DVD already...

    Trocadero's easily on my top 10 list of favourite bands. I'm having the same problems as some people though, trying to find an MP3 of "Colors"

    Did they make any other albums other than Roses are Red, Violets are Blue?

    It's almost a shame Trocadero shall always be associated with RvB. I can still watch it from time to time, but it's getting old. And VERY immature. No matter...top indie group

    I'm not a fan of RvB (used to be, but my sense of humor developed and I don't find Halo characters swearing funny anymore) but I love Trocadero.
