Alicja Trout is a Memphis-based American rock guitarist, singer, songwriter and artist.
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. In 2009 she was featured on the MTV show $5 Cover.
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!".
