Well, Stiff Trixy is an old band with new soul. Not necessarily an old band, considering they are all still minors. They were previously known as Turning Point, but due to the fact that there are hundreds of bands named Turning Point they changed their name. Plus Stiff Trixy just sounds cool. Turning Point had a good run, and they learned a lot. Stiff Trixy has all the same members, except the drummer and the singer. Now the lead guitarist, Josh, is the lead singer, and Connor Pickle is now the drummer. Connor was actually Turning Point's original drummer. Turning Point just got back from a tour in Costa Rica, was placed on the Grammy list this year (Thanks to Al Gomes @ Big Noise), went on a national tour with Adema, and played with Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Shadows Fall, and Queensryche at Locobazooka in Boston, Massachusetts. Josh has been on two international tours including a tour of Southeast Asia last year with a band from Dallas called Strangleweed and the tour in Costa Rica with Turning Point. This band does not lack experience or excitement. The members are Josh Allen (20)-Lead Vocals/Lead Guitar, Jason Sharpless (19)-Guitar/Backing Vocals, Jay McKee (20)-Bass/Backing Vocals, Connor Pickle (19)-Drums/Percussion. It's a shame that Turning Point had to end, but Daniel Hayes, the previous lead singer, went to devote all of his time to his new band, Six Bullet Roulette, you should check them out at www.myspace.com/ivbulletroulette. The changes have been made for the good, and Stiff Trixy is excited and ready to continue this saga. Stiff Trixy has just signed a management deal with W.O.A. Management and is negotiating a record deal with W.O.A. Records right now. W.O.A. is an international company based out of India. Stiff Trixy plans on traveling back and forth to India to record an album and a music video, and will tour India at the end of this year on into the first of next.

We can't wait to get our debut album recorded so that all of you guys can hear it and buy it. We have been working on it for a little while now and it should be finished by the middle of this year, a release date has not been set. It will be available on iTunes, Rhapsody, Zoomoozik, directly from this site, www.joshallen.us, etc...We hope you dig it.

The music on this site now is from our "Overnight Sessions", produced by the singer/lead guitarist, Josh, its more or less a demo. It is called the "Overnight Sessions" because it feels like the songs have been done in one long, long night. The songs show the sound and feel of Stiff Trixy, with many more songs to come.
