MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By June 14th of 1995…

alternative radio was getting stranger by the week…

and this song fit perfectly.

Tripping Daisy with:

“I Got a Girl.”

(Music Cut #2)

The song helped Tripping Daisy break through

and eventually land a spot

opening for Def Leppard

on the Slang tour in 1996.

(Music Cut #3 – “Pour Some Sugar On Me” hook)

Unfortunately…

that’s what a lot of Def Leppard fans came to hear:

big ’80s arena-rock anthems.

Instead, they first got Tripping Daisy…

a sweaty, psychedelic,

feedback-heavy band from Dallas.

But honestly?

I would’ve stayed for both.
