threewheeler

"...a band from the unlikely wilds of Horsham that we have long championed and drooled over. threewheeler make a gorgeous sound that most who hear them struggle to tag. The most convenient description is 'chamber-pop', due to the permanent presence of strings in their stunning songs, but even that does not present the whole story.This fast-rising band is based around the richly talented and dashingly attractive foursome of DENNY GRAY (vocals / acoustic guitar / melodica / percussion), STEVE ANTHONY (vocals / acoustic guitar / piano / harmonica / percussion), ROBIN BUSHELL (violin) and MELANIE WELLS (cello). They are joined by GARY HOLDER (upright bass).And what a sublime, often heartbreaking sound it is that these guys and gals make. There are elements of LAMBCHOP'S grander compositions, BEN FOLD'S more tender moments; the delicate folk and 'Englishness' of NICK DRAKE and the melodic, cinematic sweep of BECK'S Sea Change album, but their sound is certainly very much their own.threewheeler has played for us before, most notably bringing the house down at Sadstock 1 - but that generally seems to be the case whenever and wherever they play. Currently working on their debut full length album, due out this year, threewheeler is a band we confidently predict you will be seeing a great deal more of as time goes on. Many agree, including Juice FM / Totally Radio, who voted them the best local band of 2004..."The Gilded Palace of Sin, January 2006 www.thegildedpalaceofsin.com
