The new group never had the opportunity to record, but did appear on the first episode of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s TV program, "The Sunday Show". The band remained a regular fixture on the Toronto club scene throughout late 1966 and early 1967. They opened for the top band in Toronto, The Mandela, and stole the show and afterwards were approached by Mandela guitarist and friend Domenic Troiano and his manager Riff Markowitz. Riff became the Tripp's manager. One of the Tripp's most prestigious shows during this period was a performance at Maple Leaf Gardens on September 24, 1966 alongside the cream of Toronto's rock bands.
