Trippy Wicked Announce Lineup Change; New Songs in the Works
You know, I’d sort of seen around the social medias that Peter Holland (also of Elephant Tree) and Chris West (also of Named by the Sun, etc.) — former bandmates together in Trippy Wicked and the Cosmic Children of the Knight — were doing shows together under the banner of TW. Could be that was kind of a process of feeling their way back to getting back with the full trio of Holland, West and bassist Dickie King as Trippy Wicked, but either way, the news is welcome that they’ve done so. Further, that there’s new material in the works. They’ve done rock, they’ve done metal, they’ve done acoustic, so at this point I’m not really willing to venture a guess as to what that new material might sound like, but they’ve earned a fair amount of trust over the course of the last decade, so I’m willing to roll with it and find out when we get there. They say it’s “heavier,” and “a little darker,” which tells you precisely not much.
But the anticipation is part of the fun, and Trippy Wicked back with the original lineup is nothing but fun, however dark it might ultimately sound.
Their announcement of the homecoming follows:
TRIPPY WICKED AND THE COSMIC CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT – NEWS!
Hey all. We have some news for you. After a lengthy break we’re back, we’re writing new music and original drummer Chris is back in the band. We’re getting a set up to scratch and will be gigging again as soon as possible.
We’ll mostly be playing new stuff. It’s a little heavier, a little darker but it’s still Trippy. Life happens you know, and that comes out through the music. Get over it.
We’d like to thank Bill for stepping in and all he’s done for Trippy over the last few years. He carried the weight, brought the groove and put his personal touch on the Guppy EP. Always a pro on the throne and still a good friend.
Trippy Wicked.
