biographical info
Tripping Hazard was conceived in a bathtub in downtown Toronto on February 11th, 2005, and born in the upstairs of the Poor Alex Theatre over drinks, conversations concerning Frank Zappa, Babes in Toyland and mysterious face wounds.
While continuing to hone their live chops with the likes of Wax Mannequin and Run With the Kittens, performing at the 2007 Global Marijuana March with Ill Scarlet and occasionally road-tripping to rock other cities/towns/fields/schools, Tripping Hazard continues to write and demo at Ostrich Fuck studios.
They have released the self-produced EP, "It Can't be Pounding in Your Head if it's Throbbing in Your Groin", in December 2005, and the cassette EP "Leprechaun Nipple Clamps" in March 2006.
In August 2008, Tripping Hazard released "It Can't be Pounding in Your Head if it's Throbbing in Your Loins", an all new version of their first EP and have just birthed their first full length, "Wron: Suicide Goat", which was recorded at Johnnyland, Moondisc, Skylight and Ostrich studios.
With material ‘a plenty for another album in the works, Tripping Hazard will be performing around Ontario in support of Wron: Suicide Goat for the remainder of the summer and fall.
