Bobb Trimble


Bobb Trimble is a psychedelic folk/outsider musician from Marlborough, Massachusetts.

Biography

He released two full-length albums, Iron Curtain Innocence in 1980 and Harvest of Dreams in 1982. Following the latter's release, Trimble's recording activities ceased.
Over the next two decades, he gained a cult following, which included Ariel Pink and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. His records, originally pressed in quantities of 500 or less, became collectors items, some selling for as much as $1,500.
During the early 1980s, he had two backing bands: The Kidds and The Crippled Dog Band. "Suspicious parents" pulled the plug on both bands.

Reissues

2002 saw the release of Life Beyond the Doghouse, a vinyl-only compilation on Orpheus Records comprising unreleased recordings made by Trimble between 1983 and 1986.
Iron Curtain Innocence and Harvest of Dreams were re-released in 2007 by the Secretly Canadian label, each with a handful of bonus tracks.
