Trip

TRIP – the band’s third CD release – combines pop sensibilities ("Water Church") with Alternative rockers ("Bad Haggis") and a wall-of-bagpipe-and-guitar sound ("The B-52" and "Rip Hop"). With a nod to piper Eric Rigler's traditional Celtic music heritage, the band puts a spin on several Irish jigs and reels like only BAD HAGGIS can – as one reviewer called "Afri-Celt rhythmic boogaloo" ("The Hag at the Churn", "Reels Part One" & "Reels Part Two"). Rounding out their cross-cultural journeys, the Irish-styled jig of "Monkey Tree" steps directly into West Africa while "Little Spark" takes a more urban turn. Finally, the band re-visits one of the themes that Eric performed on the TITANIC original motion picture soundtrack, "Hymn to the Sea".
