Episode 11: Scod

On the back of a successful “Solo Sesh” with Gatesy and Poggo, Tripod decide to serve it up fresh with a different member of the trio. This time we get some one-on-one time with Scod, Tripod’s answer to the question “Can men with beards really play guitar”? Not content with following a simple formula, Poggo and Scod abandon the standard format set by Gatesy (who some rate as the most successful of the previous solo session contributors) and break down two songs – one that Scod no longer likes and one he LOVES. The result? A 90min journey through harmonic and melodic nerdery! In this episode the duo break down “Autistic” along with “Ivory Tower” and then worry whether the audience really want this level of detail. (Do you? Get back to us)! Episode Notes: 01:50 – It’s Just The Two Of Us!
