ABOUT TRISTRIP
FOUNDING FATHERS
It must have been somewhere at the beginning of 2020, right before the pandemic hit. Kuba (drums), Adam (guitars) and Paweł (bass) were all work friends at a big company stationed in Kraków. Not sure we can disclose the name, so we'll shut up about it for now. All of us knew that others play instruments, but we were lazy enough to postpone every chance we got at playing together. You know, work and stuff
Much later, in Summer 2021, we finally got out of the house and had a chance to play a few covers. Needless to say: it clicked
TRISTRIP IS BORN
It took a few months, but Adam remembered he knows a guy who plays some guitar, and another guy who randomly mentioned to him at a party: 'hey, I can sing'. Hier kommt Alex (vocals) and Bartek (guitars)
Save our birthday: 13th October 2021. First time the 5 of us got to play together, and while we had no idea what genre of music to pursue, we just played whatever ideas any of us had
We were lucky enough to book a few live performances since then, with our live debut in May 2022 in 'Pub pod Ziemią', a small underground bar/venue in Kraków
Song repertoire kept growing, with almost everyone pitching in their ideas. Kuba is a gift that keeps on giving, as he proposed 6 songs out of 11 written for our first album 'Stripe One'
RECORDING
September 2022 was a wild one. Recording time! It was the first time for all of us, and boy did we get verified. Thankfully, Nonagram Studio in Kraków turned out to be angels incarnate and they carried us through these tough times.
We played live in the meantime, and even started prepping for album number two.
After a few logo and artwork disputes, a lot of song corrections, mastering and preparation, we finished. Stripe One is now generally available for you to enjoy, and so are we. Catch our concerts and come say hi
