Artist History TRIAD was formed in the summer of 1986 by three aspiring musicians from Rutherford County, North Carolina. The name "TRIAD" which means a group of three (we now have four members) seemed to fit the band well because at about that time there were several cool bands performing with similar names such as Triax and Triumph. We felt that since we were a three-piece band the name TRIAD was a great name that would stick in people's minds. We also wanted to be able to use the name as part of the band logo which we have done by placing our name within two triangles. This logo has become an icon for our fans to recognize through out the years since our birth. TRIAD started playing local venues almost immediately. We, as a group decided not to get stuck in a rut as a garage band, but to perform in public as quickly as possible so as to not get burned out on practicing the same old tunes in the same old place. We quickly built a large local following by playing small clubs in our region. Through the early years we had the opportunity to open for and perform with several top rated recording groups such as the "Artimus Pyle Band" which included members of "Lynyrd Skynyrd", also Leon Wilkerson of "Lynyrd Skynyrd", and also a hot regional act "Nantucket". This was a great learning experience for the band and also gave us some much needed exposure to the "real" rock-n-roll scene. Later, as the members matured, we all went on to what we considered bigger and better things as far as our music careers were concerned. So the group dissolved after just three short years as we were all searching for that dream that we thought would come with somebody else on down the road. We have been to the ends of the earth and returned having realized that the best it could ever be was with the original members plus the addition of the baddest bass player in the land we're back together for another run at the best rock-n-roll band in America.
