Band MembersThere is but one...
InfluencesThe unbearable lightness of being...

Musically influenced by Johnny Cash, Against Me!, Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg, Mike Park, Alkaline Trio, Willie Nelson, Even In Blackouts, Woody Guthrie, Lucero, Jeff Buckley, Idlewild, Social Distortion, Hot Water Music, Green Day, Tom Waits, The Clash, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Gaslight Anthem, The Beatles, NOFX...

Influenced in a literary and ideological fashion by Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Rabbie Burns, Roald Dahl, J.D. Salinger, Christopher Brookmyre, Shakespeare, Bill Hicks, Noam Chomsky, Aldous Huxley, Tony Harrison, Cormac McCarthy...

Influenced in a lifestyle sense by the cowpunk brotherhood (worldwide!), cigarettes, coffee, tea, reggae, punk rock, university, Shire madness, lazy Sundays, noise, silence, sex, violence, enlightenment through excess, heartbreak, the ambiguity of everyday existence and everything in between...
Sounds LikeThe soundtrack to an early Sunday pint of Guinness confessing your brand-new sins to your best friend

"What does the bared heart of punk rock sound like? Tragical History Tour, that's what. Hailing from Alyth in Perthshire, Tragical History Tour features a singer/songwriter, poet and lyricist with a sound that is satisfyingly dark with a smattering of self-deprecating humour." - The Ultimate Chill, 2006

...or just good, passionate and honest acoustic punk rock'n'roll played from the heart.

   About Tragical History Tour
It's all about the anti-folk solocore cowpunk confessions...

Tragical History Tour is Derrick Johnston (me!).

Tragical History Tour began while I was hiding from the noise and violence of 13 Broken Fingers in my spray-painted bedroom about 5 years ago.

Since then I have released two EPs, the first eponymous EP was released through The Root Chord, while the 'Broken Strings and Senseless Things' odds'n'ends EP was released through Make-That-A-Take Records, our own DIY label.

My third release 'A Little Death' is out on Make-That-A-Take now. Please message me if you want a copy.

I began playing solo shows in 2003. This was purely by accident when the Fingers couldn't make a gig. Since then I have played in excess of 400 shows and have had the pleasure of sharing a stage (or floor) with many amazing bands and people including Mike Park, Even In Blackouts, Frank Turner, Ghost Mice, Paul Baribeau, PMX, The Dangerfields, Sundowner, Chief, Taking Chase, The JB Conspiracy, Richard Bacchus and The Luckiest Girls and many, many more.

I love playing shows and will play almost anywhere, any time. If you want some honest acoustic cowpunk rock'n'roll to play your pub, club, squat, house party, BBQ, festival or whatever, please give me a shout.

Cowpunk love.

Thank you man! appreciated.
well done on landing that aberdeen show. looks a good one.
if it wasn't so bloody far away and expensive to get up to, I'd have been up for that.
I can't get an aberdeen show anymore. Not after Hen at the Tunnels deciding to ban us for having to cancel a show at the last minute (it's shit to do that, I know. but our reasons were just)

Anyway, cheers for downloading the ep man.
