Headtripp

Okay so Headtripp has been around for a few years. Atleast the name has, not all the current members are orginal members of the band. But Jimmy Fire and Jim have been trading off musical talent in the band, each time bringing something fresh to make them stand out and make you say ‘This is Headtripp?’ But in a way where you will be questioning if this is the same Headtripp you seen 3 months ago. They keep it fresh, and energetic.

With LJ out, in stepped Marcus both great talented guys but would be replaced by Nate. From what I can tell he is very outgoing and is all for the band and taking it to higher levels. Each time I talked to Firehead he would say ‘Bro you gotta see what we have lined up, it’s awesome’. Each time I went to see them that statement couldn’t be further from the truth as awesome was an understatement. Then with Matt leaving for his own ventures and instepping Craig. We get songs that not other band around is doing from a ‘Sexy Back‘ remix to their Souljah Boy Crank Dat remix. Both are awesome. I just wish they would do them both in the second sets when more people can see the talent and energy that the band puts into these. They are energetic and keep the crowd going at all times.

Also with the addition of Nate and Craig has come what seems to be weekly youtube promotional videos. There is the ‘Head On‘ video as well as the ‘Chia Head‘ telling you where they will be the coming week, can check out the other videos Nate has added for the band as well. Haven’t seen any of the other bands doing this? Does Headtripp need to, does the other bands need to? It’s not a question of does a band need to or not, it seems to me as this latest version of ‘Tripp has learned something with each member replacement. Give it all you go, entertain the crowd both on stage and off. Each and every Friday and Saturday night as well as during the work week. Be in with youtube videos or leaving myspace comments, and bulletins.

With summer a short 2 weeks away I can only imagine the new song lineups they have in store for us, as well as the promo youtube videos. If you havent checked them out you should do so soon as I feel they will have a nice following this summer wherever they play.
