   About TRYPTOPHAN DESTROY FASHION 6/19/2009!

  


 

 

Tryptophan is a long running independent musical group based in Staten Island NYC USA. Its primary members are Ron Hill, Nick Purpura, and Frank Cavallo. Tryptophan also has a recording studio, whose practices dedicated to punk rock DIY principals to create the best experience for both artists and their audience.

Tryptophan (the performing band) has been together since 1996, releasing its music primarily thru the internet, cassettes, and cd-r's. We have organized countless shows here on Staten Island, and have watched many of our opening bands blow up to local superstardom (hahahahaha!!). By keeping our expectations low, our egos in check, and our personalities humble we have been able to survive, perhaps modestly, but to continue to write, record, and perform our original music.

On the flip side, we have also been able to share our experience by offering both music production (Ron & Nick), music instruction (Nick & Frank, who teach guitar and drums respectively). Since 1995, Tryptophan's underground studio has recorded the likes of such New York area artists as Awek, The Big Waterdogs, Headquarters, Kevin Devine, Miracle of 86, Monty Love, Muddfoot, Music For Girls, The Outskirts, Sangwich, Semz, Serpico, Seymore Glass and countless more. Known for our friendly and helpful service and inexpensive prices, we have helped many a performer get his music recorded and out!
