Formed in the summer of ’09, The Lizards from Mars Trio is a collective side project formed to explore and experiment with various musical styles from around the world. Tom Copson Jr., the brain child of the group, is currently in the Philadelphia band, The Hustle, and was in the Burndown All-Stars for five years before that.

Bass player, Jake Leschinsky, and drummer, Rich Agren, are founding members of Swift Technique. Tom Copson met Rich and Jake at the Bitter End in New York City when their two groups were sharing a bill. After expressing appreciation and respect for each others groups, the trio came together with a common goal to explore various musical ideas outside of their current groups. Specifically, the group planned to experiment with Middle Eastern styles, proficient funk rock and free space. ??

The first EP, also released in the Summer of ’09, was recorded with the intent to capture a spontaneous, raw trio sound. Some of the tracks were left open for interpretation, while others were rigidly organized. This does not restrict the trio, however, as the group is considering several guests for performances and future recordings. There is one thing that will remain constant with this group, though. This will be the shared goal of constantly growing musically, while also expanding in musical styles and taste.
