Synopsis

Album Description

TRIP ? the band?s third CD release ? combines pop sensibilities ("Water Church") with Alternative rockers ("Bad Haggis") and a wall-of-bagpipe-and-guitar sound ("The B-52" and "Rip Hop"). With a nod to piper Eric Rigler's traditional Celtic music heritage, the band puts a spin on several Irish jigs and reels like only BAD HAGGIS can ? as one reviewer called "Afri-Celt rhythmic boogaloo" ("The Hag at the Churn", "Reels Part One" & "Reels Part Two"). Rounding out their cross-cultural journeys, the Irish-styled jig of "Monkey Tree" steps directly into West Africa while "Little Spark" takes a more urban turn. Finally, the band re-visits one of the themes that Eric performed on the TITANIC original motion picture soundtrack, "Hymn to the Sea".

CD Reviews

Best Celtic Band Yet...

05/22/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This band rocks. The sounds of Eric Riglers Uilleann Pipes are fabulous. The band perfectly wraps around the lead pipes that puts chills down your spine. It brings rock and roll and celtic music into one big show."

"I don't think I can positively identify all of the different stylistic elements I hear on this CD. It's truly one of the most creative and unique CD's I've ever heard. Yes, there are several nice modern Celtic bands around, but you'll hear no finer musicians than these guys. Eric is one of the finest pipers in the world hands down, and Bryon is a top notch drummer. I'd venture to say this is the best band you've never heard of. Be sure to catch these guys live, it's well worth it. (They're based in Los Angeles.) Buy the CD and spread the word!"

Bad Haggis puts the rock back into celtic rock

"Bad Haggis's newest cd, Trip, is definately worth buying. this cd is an awesome mix of bagpipes, guitar, bass, drums and occasionally vocals. Anyone who likes bands like Wicked TInkers or Tempest are sure to love Bad Haggis. This bands cd definately combines rock with the wailing of the bagpipes. some of my favourite tracks are Water Church, Bad Haggis, While You're Asleep and Reels Part Two. If you're a scottish dancer, this cd has great tracks that make you want to get up and dance!"
