Biography

Dallas, Texas, United States (1990 – 1999)

Tripping Daisy was an alternative rock band which formed in Dallas, Texas, United States in 1990 and are best known for their 1995 single “I Got A Girl”. The band formed as Tim DeLaughter (vocals, guitar), Wes Berggren (guitar), Mark Pirro (bass) and Jeff Bouck (drums), although Bouck was replaced with Bryan Wakeland a few months afterwards. Guitarist Philip Karnats joined the band in 1997. Wakeland left the band in 1995 and was first replaced by Mitch Marine and then Benjamin Curtis. Berggren died of a drug overdose on October 27, 1999 while the band was recording their fourth album. After completing what was left of the album, the band officially disbanded on December 14, 1999. After the band ended, DeLaughner formed the popular symphonic rock band The Polyphonic Spree and Curtis formed the space rock band Secret Machines


The quartet formed and began touring around the area in 1991. They began recording soon after and a local radio station began giving their song “Lost and Found” some air time. Dragon Street Records released Tripping Daisy’s debut album Bill, a straight-ahead grunge-pop album except being characterized by overly processed vocals a la neo-psychedelia and a few very interesting transitions. All subsequent albums were released by Island Records; the album Bill was also re-released by Island. I Am an Elastic Firecracker lightened up on the vocal processors except when needed for effect. The arrangements were taken to a much more advanced level on this album, but fade in comparison to the improvements on their magnum opus Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb.

    Funny how the one song I always hated by them happens to be the one that is very much the top played, almost five times as much as the next. "I Got a Girl" is the reason it took me 15 years to come around to listen to them. I never would've expected the same band to have done so many great songs. "Prick" deserves many more plays.
