Former Trout Mystery drummer to play with Downy Mildew at Duffy’s Tavern By Ken Havlat Staff Reporter Times are good for Downy Mil dew. A year ago, John Hofer was the drummer for the Lincoln band Trout Mystery. Last August when Downy Mildew played at the Drumstick, Trout Mys tery was the opening band. Partly because of conflicts with their drum mer at the time, and partly from being impressed with Hofer, the members of Downy Mildew asked Hofer to join. After contemplating the move to Los Angeles for about a week, Hofer became a Mildew. Now Downy Mildew’s second album, “Mincing Steps,” has just been released, and Hofer has stay ed in contact with his old band mates. Downy Mildew will be appearing at Duffy’sTavem, 14120 St., May 17 along with Hofer’s old band Trout Mystery. On the eve of Mildew vocalist/ guitarist Charlie Baldonado’s birth day, Hofer reflected on his recent success. Baldonado and vocalist/guitarist Jenny Homer wrote or co-wrote the 10 songs on the album sharing an on off menage on relationships and their complexities. While it has been tough juggling band stints and a full-time job, Hofer said, he has been enjoying it. “Mincing Steps” continues where Mildew’s first album “Broontree” left off. They are a suite of songs that are haunted and twisted much like a good mystery novel. They don’t scream, splatter or spit but bring out an orchestral feeling that makes you feel that a little Cocteau Twins is in the air with soaring harmonies and a richness not found in many bands since early X. Some of the songs speak well for themselves. “All Is Not Well in This House” offers insight on how trying it is to be a band in Los Angeles.
