Tripping Daisy was Tim DeLaughter's baby, a Dallas band he started on lead vocals and guitar with Wes Berggren on guitar, Mark Pirro on bass and Jeff Bouck on drums; Bryan Wakeland joined in 1992. They cooked up a neo-psychedelic pop rock that's loud enough to pass for grunge and goofy enough to know better, all fuzz, sugar and wide-eyed yelping.
Bill, in 1992, had "My Umbrella", but I Am an Elastic Firecracker, in 1995, is where it all comes into focus, and "I Got a Girl" is its sugar rush: a jittery, bouncing hook that sounds like it's about to fly apart and has a blast doing so.
The ride ended in 1999, when Berggren died suddenly and the band broke up. The survivors came back together in 2017 for the Homegrown Festival in Dallas, played Texas dates in 2017, 2019 and 2022, and in June 2024 made the reunion official, with plans for a new album.
