9th December 2001 at The Standard, Walthamstow.
Triacyde are: Gary Mason, Dean E Holt, Innis Barford, Syd Farrell.

Triacyde are the side project of Dean and Syd's and are a different beast from Fiction. Fronted by the seemingly pleasant Innis Barford and guitarist Gary Mason, they launch in to what can only be described as a cross over of freeform jazz and good, honest hard metal - they cross various paths with influences ranging from Ozric's, Hawkwind and Nektar (anyone remember them) and they then do a pretty far out version of Hawkwind's 'Masters of the Universe' which showed Innis at his best.
'Yesterday', a dreamy melodic trance track, had me taking notice - there're sudden changes into some great riffing with Gary Mason doubling up as a keyboard player using no keyboards - just guitar effects ... very clever indeed. I liked this band; they're a bit different from the usual, but good.
