Band
Tripod > G

Tripod formed when the three members were attending University of Melbourne. During their shows, they have made passing references to their history of busking in Melbourne malls. The band got their first break appearing on Hey Hey It's Saturday's "Red Faces" contest, where they performed a parodic medley of Oasis hits that demonstrated similarities between the songs. The band gained further fame performing in the Melbourne International Comedy F ... estival, and making various radio appearances. On the Triple J drive-time show Merrick and Rosso, they had a weekly spot where they were challenged to write a song in an hour, with the topic and style chosen by the hosts. This format was continued from 2002-2004, when they appeared on the Triple J breakfast show with Wil Anderson and Adam Spencer, with the Song in an Hour Challenge. Two CDs containing some of the finest examples of these sessions have been released, each including recordings taken from live Song-In-An-Hour challenges featured in Tripod's Pod August Nights concerts. In late 2005, they moved to Fox FM where they could be heard on Peter Helliar's weekly Friday morning show, Pete's Show. See more [+]
