Tripping Daisy
Tripping Daisy emerged from Dallas, Texas in 1990, quickly establishing themselves as one of the most dynamic and innovative forces in the alternative and psychedelic rock scenes. With original members Tim DeLaughter on vocals and guitar, Mark Pirro on bass, Wes Berggren on guitar, and Bryan Wakeland on drums, the band carved out a distinctive sound that resonated with fans and critics alike.
Their debut album, Bill (1992), made an immediate impact by selling over 20,000 copies locally and catching the attention of major labels. This early success paved the way for their breakthrough with I Am an Elastic Firecracker (1995). Featuring the hit single “I Got a Girl,” which went Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in Canada, the album firmly established Tripping Daisy’s reputation for delivering infectious, boundary-pushing music.
The band continued to evolve with Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb (1998), an album that has since achieved cult status thanks to its experimental edge and innovative production. Their self-titled album, Tripping Daisy (2000), stands as a poignant capstone to their original run, marking the legacy of their groundbreaking work even in the wake of founding member Wes Berggren’s untimely passing.
Over the years, Tripping Daisy’s music has not only captivated audiences in concert but has also made its mark on popular culture—featured in films such as The Craft, Basquiat, and Saturday Morning Cartoons, and on television through appearances on Beavis and Butt-Head and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Their energetic live performances and enduring stage presence have left a lasting impression across North America and beyond.
Now, as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of I Am an Elastic Firecracker with an Anniversary Tour in 2025, Tripping Daisy continues to honor their storied past while forging a path toward the future with new recordings and fresh energy. Frontman Tim DeLaughter’s creative journey also extends into his work with The Polyphonic Spree—a project that has further underscored his innovative vision and contributed to memorable collaborations with music legends.
Hailing from Dallas and proudly signed to Good Records, Tripping Daisy remains a vital and inspiring chapter in the history of alternative rock, continuously inviting new generations to experience the magic of their music.
