Scod, Yon and Gatesy are Tripod – one of the most popular and prolific comedy acts working in Australia today.

“One of the funniest things happening in Edinburgh right now. Or possibly the world… there’s hardly time to catch your breath in between bouts of uncontrollable laughter… these guys are unbelievable musicians too. Sometimes five stars just aren’t enough"
-The Scotsman, Edinburgh

Tripod are a band who sing funny songs beautifully. They also fight a lot... after ten years of performing you’d think they would have worked out their onstage power struggle issues but it just keeps happening. Its classic vaudeville dressed up as geek-folk, quirky pop in gorgeous rich harmony with stings in the tails. Or, in the first chorus as the case may be.

At a music festival recently some guy with a beard described them as Crosby Stills and Nash with great jokes, which obviously appealed to the boys on a bunch of levels. If you like comedy, come. If you like music, come. If you don’t like either music or comedy, you’ve got problems. Maybe you should come and see if we can cheer you up.

Tripod are enormously busy at home. They have a hugely successful live touring agenda to fit in around regular sell out seasons at the Melbourne Comedy and Adelaide Fringe Festivals. The release of award winning albums, appearing regularly on Australian television (The Sideshow, ABC and Skithouse, Paramount) and taking part in Music Festivals across the country has kept them well and truly occupied for a while. Someone also said something about life getting in the way at some stage.
