They say that life is supposed to imitate art, but with 'Tricked', it's certainly the opposite in effect. 'Tricked' follows a floundering musician - Ray, who has spent the last four years of his life procrastinating, with no goal in sight. Once a member of one of the most successful bands in history, he now has money to burn by the wheelbarrow, a drug habit, and a taste for prostitutes. As Ray continues to spiral toward no discernible goal other than self destruction, five other people come into contact with him in an interconnecting universe. His story, and the stories of those around him echo so many real events from musical history (Ray himself is an amalgamation of an unimaginable number of musicians). For those with any sliver of an interest in pop-culture, finding these connections and links back to the real world are worth obsessing over - for musicians, even more so.
