About Me

NOTE: This site is NOT run by any members of Triple Fast Action but, rather, is a fan site and an information site for a planned Triple Fast Action Tribute CD due out in 2006.
Band bio from AllMusic.com:
Chicago's Triple Fast Action have been together since 1993, consisting of members Wes Kidd (vocals, guitar), Kevin Tihista (bass, vocals), Brian St. Clair (drums), and Ronnie Schneider (guitar) -- while Local H guitarist Scott Lucas has been known to supplement the lineup on tour (Kidd has been known to return the favor and play with Local H). Kidd and St. Clair got their start in music with the teen punk outfit Rights of the Accused, before injected some pop melody into their punk aggression for TFA. The quartet has issued a pair of albums, 1996's Broadcaster and 1997's Cattlemen Don't, as well as numerous singles for the Limited Potential and Hit It! labels. In addition to his Triple Fast Action duties, Kidd co-produced Jimmy Eat World's 1996 full-length debut, Static Previals, with Mark Trombino.
Where are they now?
Wes Kidd works for Silent Partner Management and manages the likes of Local H, The Damnwells, and Suffrajett. Brian St. Clair joined Local H following TFA's breakup. Kevin Tihista has a solo career and releases records on Parasol Records. Ronnie Schneider is retired from the music industry.
