A rock 'n' roll band based out of Vancouver. One record and video under their belt with much more on the way. The Sound - Heavy hitting distorto pop drenched with cool, infectious melodies and harmonies. Loud 'n' fast as well as intensely quiet. Tight musical interplay but loose in all the right places. Solid songwriting with lyrics that stick with you long after the song has faded from the air.
Stuff They've Done - They have toured across Canada and have showcased their heavy rock/pop sound at the NXNE and NMW festivals as well as Canadian Music Week. Past tours have included stints with I Mother Earth and Brundlefly. They have opened for groups such as Matthew Sweet, Powderfinger, Oranj Symphonette, Pure, Copyright, Thrush Hermit, The Salads and 54/40. The video for Sounds Familiar directed by Doug Thompson received two months of steady airplay on Much Music, was nominated for Favourite National Rock Video in the Georgia straight music awards and was recently submitted to the Indie Music Video festival at The Blinding Light Cinema. They have performed on the Urban Rush and Breakfast Television shows as well as the CBC's Radio Sonic/Radio 2 Concert Series and Narduwar's Live From Thunderbird Radio Hell broadcast on CITR. They have been interviewed on Much Music (Chris Nelson), CBC (David Wisdom), CFOX (David Hawkes), MOJO am730 (Paul Myers) and CFRO/Co-Op Radio. Their songs have been included on such TV shows as HIGHER GROUND, COLD SQUAD, JUST CAUSE and the movie THE GUlLTY. Jack Tripper have won two GEORGIA STRAIGHT READERS' CHOICE AWARDS for BEST DEBUT ALBUM and FAVOURITE LOCAL LIVE ACT.
Other Stuff - Sean has branched out into producing records for other artists (Adrienne Pierce) and is a regular contributing writer for Canadian Musician Magazine.
The Now - Jack Tripper have just completed their second album, 9 EASY PIECES, Co-produced by Sean and Brian, the record features nine brand new songs which capture the band's ability to switch from catchy, heavy hard rockers like EPIC DAY and D RIFF to the dreamier GLASSED OUT and LOVE SONG (UNTITLED). They are ready to tour nationally and into the U.S. and plans are on the way for a new video. Distribution for 9 EASY PIECES will be handled by the good folks at PACIFIC MUSIC.
