The best kept secret in music

"Triple Delight is (what I consider to be a new New Orleans tradition) an electronic BAND.
The meat of Triple Delight's recipe is a Macintosh G5 used to generate thoughtful mid-tempo beats and also sample and loop Hyman's floaty guitar, Garofano's tasteful drumming and Davenport's nasty analogue-ish keyboard sounds -all while the band plays live. The end result is decidedly mellow, sometimes trancey and repetetive like the best dance music, but mostly a nice balance of pre-meditated song structure and expansive improvisation based more around sound than solos."

"I first saw Triple Delight when they opened a Drums and Tuba show a few months back. I remember being attracted to the mixture of instruments used in their performance.
From the prominent iMac setup it would be easy to believe their music would be based in generic electronic sounds, but that notion is quickly dismissed as you hear a guitar riff looped and used as base to layer further licks, and then keyboard strokes on top of those, all backed by a tight drum line. Just labeling them "electronic" doesn't do justice to the band, yet it's difficult to find an appropriate genre to slap on their music. What do you call a band whose music is an amalgamation of many genres?"

Catchy, chilling tunes, you may listen to it for hours. Jazzy chord use and structure, electronic sounds, edgy guitar, drum and bass lines...

...a trio of ultra-proficient musicians improvising drums/psychedelic guitar/keys around laptop compositions... they are totally engaging, gorgeous, and amazing. They haven’t been playing too long, but every time they play they close-in on perfection.

Bio
Triple Delight is a new New Orleans musical offspring. Though born in the laboratory, Triple Delight grew up on a funky street and shows up at the club looking to move asses. A species yet new to science, it is a hybrid with electronics spliced into the flesh and blood of live musicianship. Triple Delight employs on-stage soft samplers and synths to effect and accompany acoustic elements (live drums, guitar, keys, vocals). The expressed behavior of this gene code travels a variety of electronic styles from hip-hop to four-on-the-floor thumpers to downtempo grooves and involves equal parts soundscape and dance.
