History
Tripod formed when the three members were attending university in Melbourne. During their shows, they have made passing references to their history of busking in Melbourne malls. The band got their first break appearing on Hey Hey Its Saturday's "Red Faces" contest, where they performed a parodic medley of Oasis hits that demonstrated similarities between the songs. This article is about the Australian city; the name may also refer to City of Melbourne or Melbourne city centre. ...

The band gained further fame performing in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and making various radio appearances. On the Triple J drive-time show Merrick and Rosso, they had a weekly spot where they were challenged to write a song in an hour, with the topic and style chosen by the hosts. This format was continued from 2002-2004, when they appeared on the Triple J breakfast show with Wil Anderson and Adam Spencer, with the Song in an Hour Challenge. Two CDs containing some of the finest examples of these sessions have been released, each including recordings taken from live Song-In-An-Hour challenges featured in Tripod's Pod August Nights concerts. In late 2005, they moved to Fox FM where they could be heard on Peter Helliar's weekly Friday morning show, Pete's Show. This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Style Tripod's songs are spread across a number of different styles. At times they use humorous sounds, such as "Yon and his Flute" from the Open Slather album, but the real magic comes from the lyrics of their songs and the comedic timing between the three men. The lyrics are often satirical, or use off-beat humour. Topics have included movie-style martial arts, stalking and interesting Shakespearean-era words.
Tripod are self-professed geeks, and also reference video games and Star Wars in many of their songs. A geek is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by technology and imagination. ...
