TRIAD is, or was, a Tull Tribute band from Knoxville, Tennesee, who I am surprised I have overlooked until now, since they are on the Electrocutas site, and apparently were still active in the years immediately following the release of Dot Com.
No videos, that I can find, and the link to their website is dead, so it may be that they are no longer together. There are some email contacts to the band members, and I will contact them to try to see if they are still performing or if there are any videos of them.
In addition to being featured on Electrocutas, TRIAD is also mentioned on the great Tull cover version site, which is a must-see if you've never been there before:

Check out this write-up of their unreleased CD, from that site:
Triad. Unreleased CD-R.
Hunting Girl, Rover, One Brown Mouse, Beside Myself, Conundrum, Jack-A-Lynn, Part Of The Machine, Budapest, Bourée/
Songs From The Wood, Another Christmas Song, Black Mamba, Pibroch, One White Duck, Dun Ringill, Thick As A Brick.
Look at that set-list! It's like a dream. Conundrum! Would you believe it, this American tribute trio pulls it off with splendour.
Hair-raising standard overall. The section from Conundrum to OWD is dramaturgically perfect with too many magic moments to
mention. BlMa, a piece I never thought much of, rises in this setting equal to the classics surrounding it. It's also the first cover of a
Dot Com song I've heard. Triad uses drum-programming which might scare some Tull-"puritans". But it's done with great skill, and after all one of JT:s best albums was recorded complete with drum-program… "Join the chorus if you can…". Triad does just that and wins the challenge. TAAB downloadable at www.abyssmall.com/c-electric.htm. (Thanks Brian for this one!)
Triad: Passion Jig/Living In The Past.
Those super-kind and -talented Triad boys sent me this "bonus-track". As expected: it's great. LITP is based on the marvellous JT live-version. Top points.
Hopefully I will have more information about these guys soon.
