Twelve Gauge Trixie is a high-energy American rock-and-roll band formed in San Diego in 2023. The band consists of singer Violet Howitt, lead guitarist Art Rodriguez, rhythm guitarist Mia Baenziger, drummer Blake Dutra, and bassist Paloma Bareno. The band has released four singles: HEAD SPIN (2023), LA JOLLA OD (2023), GET TO THE POINT (2023), and LILAC (2024).
History
editOrigins
editTwelve Gauge Trixie was formed following the disbandment of two previous bands. Violet and Mia were members of an all-female metal band called Mouthguard. Both were looking to exit the group and pursue a new musical direction. Around the same time, Art and Blake were in a rock band called Gipsy Cry, which had recently broken up.
Mia and Art were already acquainted and decided to explore new musical opportunities together. They invited Violet to join a jam session where Blake was also present. During this session, the chemistry among the musicians was immediately evident, and they mutually agreed to form a new rock band together. This marked the beginning of Twelve Gauge Trixie.[1]
Early Period
editTwelve Gauge Trixie's first performance took place at Humble Heart, a thrift store by day and a music venue by night, in Ocean Beach, San Diego.[2] This debut marked the beginning of their journey in the local music scene.
2023: Recording of first four singles.
editViolet and Mia were acquainted with singer and guitarist Daniel Lonner of the San Diego rock band Spray Allen and had preformed at shows with the band.[3] Seeking to get their new band recorded and produced, Mia reached out to Lonner to showcase their music. Lonner enjoyed the band's music and requested that they fully flesh out their ideas before getting back to him. Lonner began attending some of their band practices to gain a better understanding of the band's sound. Impressed by their potential, he arranged for Twelve Gauge Trixie to record four songs at Studio West in San Diego.[4] While all the instrumentals for these singles were recorded at Studio West, Violet's vocals were recorded at the residence of Sublime bassist Eric Wilson. The tracks were recorded live without a click-track. The most challenging part of the instrumental recording process was keeping tempo, especially with the song "LILAC." "LA JOLLA OD" did not have a chorus until the band started recording the song, the chorus was written collaboratively by the band members at Eric Wilson's residence while they were eating Top Ramen and tortilla chips. The instrumental recording process took about ten hours over the course of three days.
Recording Violet's vocals was a more tedious process, involving multiple takes of vocal tracks and the addition of different vocal harmonies. The recording process took about nine hours, with various creative decisions being made by the band members and producers throughout.
