LAKEWAVES TRIO – CosmicBowling Night with special guest Tlalok

Catch the groove-heavy LAKEWAVES TRIO 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.
Lakewaves Trio is a Madison-centric, groove-based outfit that crafts celestial originals with an eclectic, progressive, soundscape-y instrumentalism that’s pretty much guaranteed to get an intense response. Led by Graham Marlowe, an eccentric Wisconsin-based keyboardist/ pianist, the trio likes to follow its unusually gratifying formula of adapting material into dreamy tangentials, turning vocal and non-vocal covers into uniquely arranged instrumentals and spontaneously composing to the vibe of the rooms they play to, creating an infectious ambience you can treat your ears to for hours. Some describe the trio as “ambient prog-funk” or a looser Modeski Martin & Wood, others describe it as being out for Cosmic Bowling Night.
Will Bailey (Drums): Providing the band’s “virtuosic chill,” Will Bailey 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.
