The Wayne Gacy Trio is a musical
look into the mind of the world's most infamous and feared serial killer
clown. Originally from Atlanta Georgia, Now based out of Portland
Oregon. The trio features songs about homicide, relationships, kidnapping,
rec rooms, mayhem, bad circumstances, murder and crawlspaces. They have
been kicked off of events like "The Portland Erotic Ball" for being too
over the top, they won a contest this year featuring 40 of Portland's best
bands and then afterward people claimed they were to controversial, people
have complained to venue owners that the band is too wrong to play in
people neighborhood and the band is KUFO's most hated Portland band. The
trio has been descried by fans as the best show band they have seen in a
long time, to an S&M sitcom, to a band that just kicks ass. With it's
live onstage antics, blood, dark humor, sick and twisted content, high
energy sound and songs that make horror fan giddy, the Wayne Gacy Trio has
some great things planned for its fans each and every show. As they say
"you can listen to a band on your phone, but a phone doesn't tie you up and
rip your pants off ever, we will". |

| The Wayne Gacy Trio takes the idea of murder rock to disturbing new dimensions by using its namesake—that'd be John Wayne Gacy, the serial-killer clown who left 33 boys dead—as a protagonist and a punchline. Fronted by the creepy, greasepainted Jack Hanley, the Portland quintet ("trio" probably just sounded cooler) delivers cheeky songs about child rape and murder over riff-heavy, poppish punk laced with lounge-jazz interludes. The idea is abhorrent and morally sickening. Perhaps more disturbing, however, is how listenable it actually is. | |

| The Portland Oregon act The Wayne Gacy Trio now takes up the hapless mantle of the killer clown persona dubbing their new act “murder rock”. The band’s sound is reminiscent of other Pop Punk acts with raw organic drums, dirty hazy guitar licks, and and compelling almost spoken word vocal set. The hook… Is the lyrics and persona that set them apart from every other Portland garage band. It makes it one of the strangest acts I’ve encountered and that alone should have the fans at Fangoria musick eating their tracks up like Ed Gein at one of his Sunday afternoon Barbecues. | |

| The Wayne Gacy Trio has basically assembled an audio shrine to the legacy of famed serial killer John Wayne Gacy jr.. With songs about homicide, kidnapping, burying bodies, luring young boys into the rec room and other bad circumstances, listeners are sure to feel soiled. Dousing yourself in anti-bacterial lotion after listening is well advised, but these guys have found something else deep down in the basement - an impressive, darkly funny, debut album. | |
