Biography TRIPTIC is based in Long Beach and has been performing in and around Los Angeles since 2000. In addition to playing local venues, TRIPTIC has toured and performed nationally and has been featured on Spike TV's "10 Things Every Man Should Do" TRIPTIC was formed when Damien Smith and Eric Bradfield met and worked together at a local record store. The magic began when a mutual friend organized a jam session and the boys felt an instant compatibility. It also did not hurt that Eric was in love with Damien's sister, giving him extra incentive to rehearse at the Smith house (Eric and Christie have now been married for 3 years). Soon after, Derek Silva, a local bass prodigy was brought into the picture and the songs began to flow. Damien's edgy riffs, combined with Eric’s natural gift for vocal arrangements, give TRIPTIC a sound that is distinctive and at the same time accessible to a wide audience. TRIPTIC can be described as Hendrix meets Alice in Chains, with a little Chili Peppers to spice up the mix. TRIPTIC has released two full length albums independently, as well as 2 music videos. TRIPTIC is busy writing new material and looking for a director for a third video in support of their new album. Please visit us at our website www.tripticmusic.com or at www.myspace.com/triptic.
