Three Litre

Lots of rhyme, but for no particular reason

About Me

"Three Litre are a different story altogether. “It’s a fine line”, quips Graham Burgess at one point, “as I said to Michael Barrymore that fateful night”, and that says all you need to know about the Three Litre frontman. As humorous and relaxed in delivery as he is sarcastic and verbally deadly, Three Litre gigs were once a regular occurrence before a move to Kent, a marriage and the task of Starting A Family meant that Graham essentially put the Litre on hiatus in the summer of 2005. Despite not having rehearsed since then, or maybe even as a result of it, the Milky Wimpshake/Half Man Half Biscuit-style three minute indie-pop odes tonight sound angrier than originally intended, and each muted distorted note gives way to a screeching wall of feedback. Do you hear that noise? It’s pop music laying waste to your ears. It’s what would have happened if Ian Curtis had realised that the best way to beat life is to take the piss using songs about downhill skiing, Tunbridge Wells and the music industry as his arsenal. Aurally, it’s not harsh - the songs themselves are polished, mid-tempo, calmly delivered and simply arranged - but while the songs lack chaotic energy, the onstage activity does not. Every opportunity to escape the microphone and pummel another solo out of the guitars are taken, and almost as remarkable as seeing the ample-framed drummer mount the speaker stack armed only with a cowbell, is the thought that tonight Three Litre have out-gunned their contemporaries and made it look almost unintentional."- www.drownedinsound.comThe video for our second single, "G.O.D.D.E.S.S."
