About Me

3 Wise Men are the live version of "Us" -see www.myspace.com/andyshades. Initially a trio of vocals.guitar/violin/keyboads. this has now morphed into more of a psychedelic guitar based line up with bass, drums and electric to give a more driving force to bolster the political passion of the lyrics.
