The 313s

About Me


From the leafy suburbs of South West London blasts out the unique sound sensation of this exciting trio, echoing all the counter-cultural ideologies of the swinging sixties and imbuing them with the unmistakable sound of the early British indie scene. The 313s' rich tapestry of funky beats, driving rhythms and catchy melodies never fails to get audiences grooving. Their direct approach to songwriting translates to a frenetic and instantly gratifying live experience. Since hitting the live scene in early 2005, The 313s' numerous performances across London and the surrounding counties, including festivals such as Guilfest and Ambient Picnic, have ensured a steadily expanding and diverse following. Highlights to date include reaching the national finals of the Carling Undiscovered Live competition, held at London's prestigious Islington Academy, as well as being play listed on various radio stations across the UK.
