A Serbian easy listening / pop band (active from 2007 to 2009) 4. A US prog rock band (active from 1998 to 2007) 5. A French metal / hardcore band (active from 2001 to 2005) 1. Tripod is an Australian musical comedy trio formed in 1997, specialising in improv, parody and satire. The band comprises Scod (Scott Edgar), Yon (Simon Hall) and Gatesy (Steven Gates). The trio cover a wide variety of performance styles, from soft ballads to hard rock, performing these songs with only the aid of Scod (and, at times, Gatesy) playing acoustic guitar. Prolific recording artists, Tripod have released ten full-length albums and four DVDs. In 2005, Tripod received the Best Comedy Release ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Award for their album Middleborough Rd. Their most recent album is Men of Substance, released in February 2013. They’re well known for their ‘Song In An Hour’ challenges on Australian radio station Triple J. Once a week they appeared on the morning show with Wil Anderson and Adam Spencer and were given a list of ‘ingredients’ from the listeners. They would then have only an hour to write a song containing all those ingredients. Fun Fact: Tripod were immortalised by being name-checked in the Star Wars novel Force Heretic II.
