The Tryp is a band founded in 1999 in Salzburg ( Austria ) , consisting of singer Reeva, producer Tom Pi and drummer Flo. The band name is based on the English word trip (excursion, journey).
history
Thomas Pühringer (alias Tom Pi) was born in Helpfau-Uttendorf in Upper Austria and gained experience as a musician and producer in various rock and pop formations since he was 18 years old. Eva Maria Reiter (alias Reeva), born in Salzburg, attended early musical education at the Orff-Schulwerk as a child , then received basic training in singing and classical guitar in a Salzburg music school and studied pop singing in Vienna.
She also had multiple stage experience as a singer in various cover bands and in the Salzburg formation Cosmic Debris when the two met on a joint project in 1995: Reeva contributed backing vocals to some songs by the gothic metal band Kaleidoscope Sunrise, in which Tom Pi was working as a guitarist and songwriter at the time. When digital recording became more and more important at the end of the 90s, Tom Pi proposed to found the joint trip-hop band project The Tryp.
Between 1999 and 2002 Tom Pi and Reeva took part in many band competitions, played on the main stage of the Danube Island Festival in 2001 and produced three albums themselves (1999 The Tryp , 2001 oo and 2002 ... in at least ... ).
In 2002 they succeeded in being accepted into the hot rotation of the national youth music channel FM4 with the Song Guider . The online music platform FM4-Soundpark also increased awareness across Austria. As a result, the duo was booked for support gigs with dZihan & Kamien and I Am Kloot as well as for an FM4 Soundpark tour through Austria. Subsequently, Reeva received a solo contract with a talent scout from Virgin Records and got out of the joint project.
Tom Pi then engaged singer Priska Schwarz from Salzburg to take on the vocal parts for the project in order to be able to fulfill the live bookings that had already been confirmed. In this formation, the album Human Animal was created, again on their own, in 2003 , but it fell far short of expectations. Less than two years later, Reeva rejoined The Tryp; At the end of 2004, the joint work on new song material began. At the end of 2005, the debut album Magnetic Storm was released by Huge Music Entertainment.
Tom Pi and Reeva have now formed a trio with the Salzburg drummer Florian Bärthlein. The work on the follow-up album Get Your Dresses On was interrupted by several baby breaks for the band members. At the beginning of 2012 Reeva founded her own label Guider Records and signed a distribution contract with Hoanzl together with The Tryp. On April 13, 2012, the single Superhero Powers was released , on which a Salzburg children's choir had also participated. The corresponding video was published on April 11, 2012 on youtube .
On May 4th, 2012 the album Get Your Dresses On was released in cooperation with Hoanzl and was on the Austrian market for a few months.
