Hi and thanks for visiting our page at IAC Music! The Trip Poppies are a North Coast NSW studio band who just love writing and recording fresh original music. You can hear tracks from our first album "Still Living in the Garden of Eden" here, as well as demo versions of songs from our upcoming album "Magic Wheel" due for release in 2011. The track "Everything's Beautiful" off the debut album won best Adult Contemporary song at the 2009 Dolphin Awards. Also, "We See the Birds Land" has just won a runner up placing in the international Song of the Year song contest. A demo version of this track, which will be on our next album "Magic Wheel", can be heard on this page also.

The Trip Poppies are Dez Paul and Cary Kembla (aka dez hoy and greg samuelson) - writers, producers and sometime vocalists, plus a wonderful cast of our friends and talented musicians Sonia Leeson and Andy Jans Brown (vocals), Dan Brown (bass/keys); Toby Davies, Matt Guliford and Dave Stuart (guitars, Dave with some vox); and Jamie Pattugalan on drums and percussion. The fine Sam Bartlett does our engineering at Meridian Receiver studios in Dorroughby NSW.

Our sound is eclectic, from folk rock to hard retro rock to soulful ballads, influenced by acts like The Flaming Lips, Neil Young, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Simon and Garfunkel to name a few.

So thanks again for dropping by, we hope you enjoy listening to our music as much as we enjoy making it. XXXTrip Poppies
