Editing Tripping Daisy (section)

===First album===
After playing local gigs, the band released their first single, "Lost and Found", which received moderate airplay on local radio station [[KDGE]]. The band incorporated a light show similar to [[The Joshua Light Show]] at the [[Fillmore East]]. It used effects such as hand made slide shows with multi layered 16&nbsp;mm projections along with oil and water. This visual attention was present in their very first show and was the beginning of many multimedia attractions to come.

The band soon began recording what would become their first full-length album, ''[[Bill (Tripping Daisy album)|Bill]]'', released on the independent label Dragon Street Records. The album was a favorite on Dallas radio. The sound on ''Bill'' is characterized by the heavy use of vocal effects and unconventional riffs, both of which lend to a [[neo-psychedelia|neo-psychedelic]] sound. ''Bill'' was re-released on major label [[Island Records]], with a different mix and mastering from the Dragon Street version. It also excludes the cover song "Green Tamborine".

In 1992 Bryan Wakeland replaced Jeff Bouck as the band's drummer. The band released a live album in 1994 titled ''Get It On''. The album closes with a cover of the [[Bad Religion]] song "[[We're Only Gonna Die]]". DeLaughter has been noted as saying in 1990s era interviews that the record label pushed the live album out to capitalize on the popularity of ''Bill'', and it is not one of his favorite albums.{{Citation needed|date=April 2025|reason=where?}}
