Seattle Refined has announced Tres Leches as their Artist of the Week, highlighting the local trio known for their unique 'Dark Basement' genre and improvisation-focused performances. The band, comprised of Ulises Mariscal, Zander Yates, and Alaia D'Alessandro, has carved out a distinctive niche in Seattle's vibrant music scene with their experimental approach to sound and performance.

Tres Leches describes their musical style as 'Dark Basement,' a genre classification that reflects their atmospheric and underground aesthetic. The trio has built their reputation on a foundation of improvisation, allowing each performance to become a unique experience for audiences. This spontaneous approach to music-making has helped distinguish them from other acts in the Pacific Northwest music landscape.

The band will showcase their talents at the upcoming R-Day event in Georgetown, scheduled for September 6th. This performance represents a significant opportunity for Tres Leches to reach new audiences and demonstrate their improvisational skills to a broader Seattle music community. R-Day has become an important platform for emerging and established artists in the region.

Seattle Refined, which operates as both a lifestyle website and television show airing weekdays at 3 p.m. on KOMO, regularly features local artists as part of their commitment to celebrating Seattle culture and the broader Pacific Northwest region. The Artist of the Week feature serves as a spotlight for musicians who represent the innovative and diverse creative spirit that defines the area's artistic community.
