Melody. Harmony. Craftmanship!! These are the things that are missing from modern pop music. Fortunately, Tripsitter are here to change all that. With their blending of classic and modern rock styles, Tripsitter brings back the notion of music as something more than a disposable fashion plate.
At the core of this piano and bass driven band are Jeff and Jon Celentano. This songwriting duo present their plans of "world domination through music" over the course of eight tracks on their debut album. If you can imagine a band that is part Brian Wilson, part Ben Folds and part something as yet undefined, then you can start to grasp what the brothers C are up to.
But don't take our word for it. Like Laurie Anderson said, "Writing about music is like dancing about architechture". Check them out for yourself!!!

Une vraie merveille
author: Charlie Dontsurf
Une vraie petite merveille ! L'influence de Brian Wilson, période Today à Smile, est apprivoisée au profit d'une musique fraîche, belle et beaucoup plus originale que l'impression que peut laisser une première écoute trop rapide ! Beauté des voix, des instruments ... really great !

One of the year's surprises is the debut offering by the Las Vegas based trio, Tripsitter. The band's first release, Tripsitter, embraces the listener with cascades of dazzling instumental flourishes, clever lyrics and swelling harmonies bringing to mind The Beach Boys, The Association, and The Zombies with a generous dash of Ben Folds Five and Jellyfish to keep it current. Smart songwriting earmarked by Jeff Celentano's solid vocals and robust piano playing make Tripsitter a real treat. Dial up ''California Son'' and ''Transformation'' for a peek at this band's brand of aural magic. The album's standout track, the drop dead gorgeous ''Last September'', boasts a killer hook that refuses to leave your cranium. A secret hidden track, a faithful cover of Brian Wilson's solo nugget, ''Love and Mercy'' rounds out this promising new release. Info at http://tripsitter.tripod.com

31 Flavors of Music
author: Devin Rambo
Tired of all the vanilla-sounding bands with lead singers desperate to sound like Eddie Vedder? Well, perhaps you should get a handle on these guys. What's not to love about a band whose primary musical influence is best known to your average twentysomething as the subject of lampooning by Barenaked Ladies? This first album by the Las Vegas band Tripsitter fuses catchy rhythms, toe-tapping beats and startlingly novel vocal harmonies to create a joyous pop record that lingers after the CD stops spinning. The record ends strongly with a song that is destined to become the band's signature, a richly-textured valentine which the band has delivered with a wink and a smile by eponymously titling it California Son. Hopefully, this album is the first of many where Tripsitter marries vintage pop sensibilities and contemporary pop moods into their own fresh musical swirl of flavors.
