  Tripping Daisy (1999)
One thing that has always struck me about Daisy, though you never see it mentioned in reviews, is how optomistic their music is. These guys felt good about life and let this feeling flow through the music they created.
Daisy were a happy-go-lucky bunch to be sure but they always managed to rock with intensity.
As for the demise of the great Tripping Daisy, all I can say is I am hopeful (as always) a collection of their rarities will surface someday.

 Mundane Sounds
Indeed, it is difficult to listen to Tripping Daisy without thinking about the tragic death of founding member Wes Berggren, who passed away in 1999, and whose death brought the end of Tripping Daisy.
Tripping Daisy closes with one of their best songs, "The Sudden Shift Worried Him," which sounds like a sequel to the Pixies' great "Veloria." It's not unfair to wonder about what Tripping Daisy would have sounded like had Berggren not died.
Tripping Daisy is a record with a halo over it, and it indeed transcends mere comparison.

An hour before Tripping Daisy is set to take the stage, the line wraps entirely around Trees, spilling into the alley behind the club.
Tripping Daisy captures what can be so good about pop music--songs that dance upon the skin without piercing it, music that doesn't break hearts or stir souls but merely moves the body.
At their best, Tripping Daisy can come up with something reminiscent of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" or "Love Me Do"--songs that are inherently simple but hard to shake, songs that are indestructible because they are built upon the most solid of foundations.

The story of Tripping Daisy is a tale about a band that came from nowhere and became, in an instant, stars in their own back yard.
Two weeks after Tripping Daisy had been in Woodstock--without a drummer, trying to figure out what the hell they were going to do as the studio meter was running--they called Ben and invited him to join the band.

 Music: Ground Zero (FW Weekly . 07-06-98)
Tripping Daisy was no exception; in fact they were the most heavily courted of the lot and eventually opted to go with Island Records - then home to a bunch of nobodies like U2.
The difference is obvious on the 15-song Atom Bomb, which comes three years after Tripping Daisy's last studio project (a collection of b-sides, deep cuts and other embarrassments, Time Capsule, was released last year), not only moves the band into new professional territory but finds them in an entirely different dimension.
Clearly Tripping Daisy is no longer holding back and, more importantly, seems to be willing to take chances.

 Prindle Record Reviews - Tripping Daisy
omparing Dallas' Tripping Daisy to the oodles of "alternative" bands that were inspired in the wake of Nirvana is like comparing a flock of North American geese to a duck-billed platypus.
All in all, it was an excellent review of what is easily the best representation of Tripping Daisy's ability to write songs with interesting changes that don't call attention to the changes as much as make you flow with them.
As for the demise of the great Tripping Daisy, all I can say is I am hopeful (as I always am when a favorite band breaks up) that a collection of their rarities will surface someday.

 mundane sounds: An Interview with Tim DeLaughter
I was all about Tripping Daisy, and trying to get delay on my voice, and things like that and I was more like "God, if I can get my voice to sound like this" and that's pretty much what I was into at that time.
It was after Wes' death [Wes Berggren, Tripping Daisy guitarist who died of a drug overdose in October 1999] I'd had a good year and a half off, I was still in a funk about it, still dealing with it all, and it was kind of a big deal.
I loved Tripping Daisy, and it was like the baby and something I'd grown up with and a part of my life, and I never could see myself doing two things at once.

If you like the music of Tripping Daisy and the new CD just blows you away when you listen to it, then the tour that blasts off in Tulsa, OK on August 29th is going to be a concert that will be remembered for sometime to come.
For Tripping Daisy, this will be their first tour in 2 and 1/2 years and is sure to include lots of music from their new album, Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb, which was just released on July 7th.
The new album is simply amazing and seems to be traditionally different than the other Tripping Daisy albums.

But as the tortured "Prick" and other tracks head down Jane's road, Tripping Daisy can't muster the 'tude to match the sound, and the band's moral center remains unmoved by the keening melodies and blustery guitar.
Thoughtful and colorfully expressed lyrical meditations on insecurity, motivation, love and addiction mark Tripping Daisy as smart, positive and socially aware.
Throughout the album, Tripping Daisy comes off confused but intermittently entertaining.

Brown Eyed Pickle Boy and Miles and Miles of Pain are the weakest songs, but they lay the blueprint for future Daisy albums, the ones where Wes and Tim and the rest of the boys gelled to creat the perfection heard on Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb and the brand new Tripping Daisy.
Early Daisy fans were hoping for more of this with subsequent albums that ended up falling short.
I would like to say, for anyone new to the band, start here, the same place the band started, and then progress to the next album, and experience the changes their music has gone through over the years, and continue to do so until you've been through them all.

Tripping Daisy isn't supposed to elicit playful boy/girl images.
Tripping Daisy was one of the more unique and original bands to come out of the 90s.
Other Tripping Daisy albums are good and worth listening to, but none of them capture the mix of hard rock, pop, and psychedelic sounds like this one does.

Tripping Daisy : I Am an Elastic Firecracker
With their second album, Tripping Daisy channel their psychedelic influences into more coherent songs without losing their quirky sense of melody.
It makes for a more enjoyable and accessible record, one that isn't distinguished by the noise of guitars, but what the guitars are playing.

 Tripping Daisy -- "Jesus Hits Like an Atom Bomb"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Take the new single "Waited a Light Year": a catchy riff builds and mutates, grows increasingly muddy and bombastic, until before you know it you can't remember how the song started, how it got so over-inflated, or where the horns came from.
But there was something delightfully sloppy about the last album, and its hit "I Got a Girl." Guitars bounced, Tim DeLaughter's voice wobbled sarcastically -- which in these strangely catchy pop songs managed to make guitar rock that was, in fact, trippy.
Here Tripping Daisy leaves behind verse-chorus-verse pop for the sonic epic, and the sloppiness that was so pleasant seems like an editing room mishap.

But with Jesus Hits, a well-rested Tripping Daisy sound rejuvenated.
The line-up is now a quintet, with two new members, guitarist/trumpeter Philip Karnats and drummer Ben Curtis, and their contribution to the band's, uh, trippy sound is seamless (the horns add a dash of Pepper, as in "Sergeant," to the group's psychedelic feast).

 Ink 19 :: Tripping Daisy
Though I wouldn't say "I Got A Girl" sounds completely different from the rest of their material, it certainly isn't representative.
In fact, the hit seems to have done more harm than good, as a few people I know who would probably like this record wince when I mention Tripping Daisy (and begin singing parodies of "I Got A Girl").
On this album, Tripping Daisy has matured into a full-on powerhouse.

Pleasantly inspired by the Beatles' psychedelic period as well as the more heavy riffers of the 1970s, alternative popsters Tripping Daisy came together in Dallas in 1991.
Comprising vocalist/guitarist Tim DeLaughter, guitarist Wes Berggren, bassist Mark Pirro and drummer Mitch Marine, the band gigged around the area and began recording soon after.
