Tribe (band)

Tribe

Tribe was an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They released three albums, two on Slash Records/Warner Bros. Records, but did not translate their local appeal into national fame and disbanded in 1994.

Terri and Eric Brosius and Greg LoPiccolo later joined video game developer Looking Glass Studios and did sound/voice/music work on various games. They would later become founding members of Guitar Hero developer Harmonix.

"Outside", a song from Here at the Home, was featured in the 2007 music video game Rock Band.

Current Status

Recently, Terri Brosius helped form a new local Boston band called The Vivs, where she is the keyboard player and backing vocalist. Eric also helped to produce their debut album, Mouth to Mouth.
