Chicago's
Triple Fast Action have been together since 1993, consisting of members
Wes Kidd (vocals, guitar),
Kevin Tihista (bass, vocals),
Brian St. Clair (drums), and Ronnie Schneider (guitar), while
Local H guitarist
Scott Lucas has been known to supplement the lineup on tour (
Kidd has been known to return the favor and play with
Local H).
Kidd and
St. Clair got their start in music with the teen punk outfit Rights of the Accused, before injecting some pop melody into their punk aggression for
TFA. The quartet has issued a pair of albums, 1996's Broadcaster and 1997's
Cattlemen Don't, as well as numerous singles for the Limited Potential and Hit It! labels. In addition to his
Triple Fast Action duties,
Kidd co-produced
Jimmy Eat World's 1996 full-length debut,
Static Prevails, with
Mark Trombino. ~ Greg Prato
