The Kimberly Trip was born from a friendship between Jeffry Wynne Prince (guitar, vocals) and Bractune (drums) that began in Junior High School. "We immediately bonded out of a 'nerds of a feather' sort of mentality. It was ironic -- we would spend hours a day making our own animated Sci-Fi films with plastic Star Wars action figures, and we'd spend the rest of the time wondering why everyone in town thought we were huge geeks!"

Soon they discovered the power of rock and roll. Immediately they picked up instruments and started to dream of all the girls they'd attract. Their love of music got them through High School, and their songwriting techniques became more and more refined. Their music did a great job of attracting one girl, but not for the reasons they hoped -- she wanted to sing with them!

Kimberlina (lead vocals) hails from Orange California where she encountered many of the same life experiences that were shared by Bractune and Jeffry. Along with Misha (guitar) and Sierra (female bassist extraordinaire) they began to focus on the humorous aspects of growing into your own skin. "Any situation can be positive if you look hard enough, and at some point it becomes much more healthy to laugh at yourself than to be depressed. That is what we want to share with our audience." And their audience GETS it. With sales numbers that rival major label acts in their region and an energetic live show that can be seen in excess of 60 times a year, this band has a work ethic that is only rivaled by their creativity and their bizarre sense of humor!

"one of those rare bands that are actually interested in entertaining
an audience and they accomplish this goal wonderfully."—Sacramento News and Review
