Alicja Anna Trout is an American, Memphis-based rock guitarist, singer and songwriter. She is best known for her work with the synth-heavy Lost Sounds, which she started with Jay Reatard. Her current band, the River City Tanlines, were named an essential Memphis band by Spin Magazine in December 2007. Trout also owns and operates Contaminated Records, her own independent record label. She graduated from Memphis College with an MFA in 1997. In 2009, she was featured on the MTV show $5 Cover.

Other musical projects

After the Lost Sounds "abruptly yet not unexpectedly" disbanded in May 2005, Trout's focus switched to the River City Tanlines, a more rock and roll oriented band. Trout has also played a part in a number of other Memphis-based rock bands, including: The Clears, The Fitts, The CC Riders, Mouserocket, Destruction Unit, and Black Sunday. In March 2016, Certified PR Records released a 12-inch LP record of her latest solo project, "Alicja-Pop!". Currently, Trout maintains River City Tanlines and Mouserocket, a re-boot of Lost Sounds titled Sweet Knives, and Fresh Flesh, a band where she is not the primary songwriter. Sweet Knives did a midwest/east coast tour in August 2016.
