The Sun King Comes...

...and he's Trippin' Inside This House!

Marking the occasion of this our High Holy Day here at Trip Inside This House, we've yet again begged and cajoled several bands into conjuring up the magic that is Summer Solstice. We believe it will please your ears, bend a bit of space & time betwixt and between your ears, and generally improve your health and well-being. (If you are, well...a being.)

Invitations went out way back in yesteryear. Many responded they were in, some said they couldn't for various agreeable reasons. In the end nine gracious bands came through and I'm deeply honored and damned excited by their efforts. (Nine's a magic number, right..?)Quality over quantity is the tone of this, Vol. III.

Also, before we set-to on the tracklisting, a massive round of applause to Joseph Demaree who's responsible for the super-psychedelic cover art you behold! Huge tip o' the helmet! (He nailed it, far beyond expectations, wouldn't you agree?)

OK, let's get to it, shall we?

Take the lift to the 13th floor
Raoul Duke will open the door
You’ll trip inside this house

Black Angels are guarding the gate
Inside a massacre lies in wait
You’ll trip inside this house

Spacemen serving Electric Koolaid
The Warlocks are dead
And Syd is insane
You’ll trip inside this house

Oasis of noise in the Underground
Be it Velvet or Bloody
You’ll drown in the sound
You’ll trip inside this house

And if you see Jesus and Mary in chains
Tell them Keep Music Evil
That’s where our god reigns
You’ll trip inside this house

The Morning After Girls will make love to you
They’ll be no Valentine
Because you’ve been abused
You’ve tripped inside our house

Trip inside this house
Trip inside this house……….


09 - Joseph Demaree - Trip Inside This House San Jose, California's renaissance man weighs in, not just with the art.

10 - The Love Explosion - The Perverse Caress Of Satan (Tripped Up Inside) Sydney, Australia gives us one more to bid adieu. And off we go.
