Tripping Daisy - Blown Away

[@hypnoticleslie]

Still a classic. Freaking amazing. 30 years ago, is it?

[@AlexRappoport]

Making this video was the most fun I’ve ever had as a cinematographer. I’d never filmed animation before and so I had no sense of any rules to follow. Alex Halpern cooked up this crazy world and I did my best to make it come alive with color and motion. It’s insane looking at it now - we spent weeks in the studio, a whole team of us, just in our mid-20s living the creative dream. And the song itself is as prophetic about gun violence as it is a great pop rock gem.

[@lewisgiles8855]

Y'all were my life after nirvana went away, thanks for being there

[@ShakaCthulu]

Very memorable video & very underrated 90’s album. Tim Delaughter was like a non-pretentious Perry Farrell.

[@ChristopherNicholson-ot6ez]

Video sucked. Bands jamming fu

[@scottysauce]

Amazing always underrated!

[@RatScabiess-ji3ui]

You did a fantastic job good sir props

[@thefrizzell91]

It's me "boogie" just checking in 🤘. When I was a 2 year old I would wander around my dad's recording studio in Garland TX where the band recorded their demo this song being one of them...the singer seen me and asked my dad "who is that little guy?" My dad responded "that's boogie". Next day they record and he added that In the song...."I think about the boogie man". Really cool down to earth dudes

[@TheNutzopants]

You ROCK!!!, Thanks! SO cool to read this!*)

[@lewisgiles8855]

Super cool. I fired up some old beck albums yesterday. I listen to elastic firecracker like once a week. The future is not that bad right now!

[@lunasissons]

i still love his voice

[@ge2623]

I love people that can understand AND master power chords.

[@msg472]

They should've been more famous. They're the iconic sound of the 90s.

[@mikeyfightfan]

I miss this band - these guys were a great inspiration to the local scene in Dallas

[@ge2623]

Well, at least, ironically, Dallas has like 90 road-rage shootings every year. We've done good huh?

[@shawnpatton44]

here I am nearly 20 years later with the same excitement when I first heard Tripping Daisy!!!

[@TheTrueSonOfFire]

Haven't thought about these guys for decades, now on my way home from church today, good memories came back ❤

[@WinstonAug]

This is definitely my favorite of theirs. Man great times at Trees.

[@jlsagely6892]

Peak Deep Ellum!

[@johnscott5187]

Holy ballz i didnt know this video existed,, i still have this c.d,, imterweb kicks ass

[@brandondavis1039]

Kudos to everyone who poured their hearts out into this project. Tripping Daisy should have been bigger goddammit

[@WinstonAug]

Saw these guys and Reverend Horton Heat play at Trees in Deep Ellum. Awesome.

[@stonent]

Saw them last month at the Switchyard!

[@danzer0]

I remember trying to record this video in a VHS back in the days MTV actually played music. And then I could get to know a not so well known band from Dallas here in Brazil.

[@shirleymanson4582]

I love this song me and brother saw them in 94 or 95 in concert

[@WylieMike]

I miss the hangout at BILLS RECORDS AND TAPES... Great times!!!!!!... Sure do miss you guys.

[@FloweticDevine]

dallas 90's scene was epic.

[@firefighter7894]

Dallas/Denton I miss those days.

[@FloweticDevine]

Me too. Thats my hometown area. Was a time when they went hard outta there w music to shape the future.

[@SegaBoy8]

Lived in Dallas all my life. I definitely miss that era of music.

[@hypnoticleslie]

I miss it. Sincerely, a 90s Dallas Deep Ellum Kid.

[@jackspratt44]

Fort Worth , Denton and Dallas were awesome back then. Now you couldn't pay me enough to hang out in Dallas. No thanks!

[@shirleymanson4582]

Great band i saw them back in 93

[@kristiewendland3694]

This was a great throwback for me. Saw them at Ricks several times in 93-94.

[@scottg7133]

!! tim is so tiny! i miss ricks place, its a shame fry street is gone

[@DwayneSims-j5j]

These guys were the college aged-kids messiahs of the mid 90s, behind 311 Legend

[@kingcrab51]

As friends of all the DeLaughters, Tim was always a natural. I'm friends with his father, but I'm a drummer and trippin' D was right up my alley. But, had kiddo, wife and work and would have loved to play drums for this band - what a great band, and the VICTIM of a terrible (A&R hack) who picked the wrong song to get airplay - ANY other song, but "I Got a Girl", which put them in the 'one-hit-wonder' stack - one song can do that. Why not "Blown Away"? Even Green Tambourine - Former Island Rep to blame for lack of support and basically bailed on them- while the small Dragon Street Records did a fine job on the CD "Bill". Saw many shows, they were high-energy, low-energy coolness - a nice mix of melody and power pop, and Tim has a natural great voice with Polyphonic still. Tim had a way of seeing the big picture of his music (audio-video-visual) and this band was right there with Jane's Addiction, PFerrell, and Jellyfish, while still being able to rock it with smart-er songs. All catchy, You will NOT find a lot of guitar solos, and a solid rhythm section, with Bryan Wakeland on drums, rounded out the sound - as for the show - you had to be there. Very intense, but relaxed vibe and if not for a really, really STUPID choice of songs for airplay (not a bad song, just not representative of the ENTIRETY of the band), Trippin' Daisy got that bubble-gum goo 'label' instead of a truly rocking band with tight, solid sound and a superior front-man who knew his audience - they just got 'tripped up' and I don't think they had much say in it. Island signed them just before Island kinda bailed out and they DEF bailed on this band. Patrick (with Dragon St. Records) and I sat at the show where they signed with Island right after that show at The old Agora, Island's show of power (a band trip to the Super Bowl) and the sky looked greener than green at that moment. But, let one dumb 'suit' who thinks they know more about music than the originator of THE MUSIC, decide on a HIT song? And you are barely able to recover - in this case, they didn't. But, all the pieces were in place - some labels, fly you around, impress you, promise the moon, but then you sign and find out how living in a van, playing a song that most people find goofy, and this can stamp you as a 'campy band' - you have a recipe for breaking a perfectly good guitar. But, I got the chance to see them in their finest form - LIVE - yes, they were part of the Deep Ellum heyday, a major part, but I'm glad Tim formed Poly-Spree and went about his business of kinda showing some record labels "Hey, I can put people in ROBES and have FRENCH HORNS and we will be popular" and, they are, even with the number of players, singers, etc. Tim D is the modern day Minstrel and has always had a natural knack for delivering songs-vocals and MUSIC. But, put him back in a harder edge band? And, that band would succeed, too - he can do that genre very well, IMHO. So, if ya got the original CD "Bill" from Dragon Street, and saw them live, then you got the best of this band. If you came in on the back-end, which was full of hard-times, bad timing, personal tragedy (RIP Wes), then it would be very safe to say "Blame the Label" on the ball bring dropped. However, they are/were an integral part of Dallas band lore and to see them LIVE was to see/hear art and sound ahead of the curve. Glad Tim is having a good go with The Spree. He has paid his dues. And, check out the rest of TP's CDs. They are all good with some great songs. Hi Jerry Suzanne Armand and Adam, The D's! - Crabtree says hello. Any band that can cover Green Tambourine, and do a great job, has my vote. The entire band was great, and Tim just gave them the sound most bands don't have - a frontman who can sing + being a showman.

[@jeremiahp]

Your comments about the "I Got a Girl" decision somewhat validates my frustration as a fan at the time the song was pushed onto the airwaves. I loved that song in concert and it had it's place on the album, but as a single it was not representative of TD's appeal to me and my friends.

[@kingcrab51]

@JP- exactly - could not agree more.

[@michaelledford9360]

You are absolutely spot on with the misgivings of the record label. Amazing what so called record producers are able to fuck-up! Tim has an amazing voice and talent, and in their case, it is the band that should have been, but just never got off the ground. sorta like the old saying,"there's always piranhas"

[@lynnharper6291]

hey man I saw them in 1995 news eve in fort worth was impressed totally left for US NAVY took a cassette tape with they were heard around Europe. I watched BIG D NYE last night and said that guy sounds like tripping d singer and it was. "BLOWN AWAY" never thought I would hear him again. Were are they now I need to go see a show again

[@troyfrazier2845]

KingCrab51 is "spot-on". We would head down to Deep Ellum (Dallas, TX) in the early '90s to catch these guys anywhere we could!

[@kincaide67]

So glad to see that Tim is still around through all the great music he's given us....and great to see that Daisy pops up here and then.

[@waldo8769]

Underated band! Would pay to see them as a headliner in NS Canada!! Come here!!

[@jtech45]

One of the best bands of all time. The entire Bill album is sick. Blew me away at their show in Amarillo Texas in '92. Rest in peace Wes, you are missed.

[@shirleymanson4582]

Yeah when I heard about Wes it was so sad

[@EricspazLewis]

I'm so glad I grew up in Dallas and got to see bands like Tripping Daisy and PanteraI know far in between. TD was always the band to go see in DE!! I miss the 90's

[@stacydornan9765]

Loved this band when I was a you glad 53 now and still love 90s rock

[@Jc3intelligent]

their studio stuff is so over produced. "Get it one" EP has this song live and it is hard and fast. Way better.

Thank God this band didn't get beyond one hit wonder status. This is the kind of crap that killed music in the 90's.
