The Tripsichord Music Box was an American rock and psychedelic rock group of the 1960s. They were managed by Matthew Katz, who also worked with Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and It's a Beautiful Day. Their loyalty to Katz, at a time when many San Francisco bands were signing recording deals with LA-based labels, may have contributed to their relatively unknown status today. Led by guitarist and singer/songwriter David Zandonatti, Tripsichord recorded a full length LP and several singles for Katz's San Francisco Sound label. In addition to putting out authentic psych music in the late sixties and early seventies, the band is also responsible for some of the most overtly Mormon lyrics ever recorded outside of Utah.
