The Three O'Clock

[Abe Lincoln]

Me too! I was a little 12yr old Mod and had friends that were friends with the bouncers and they would let me in for the Mod/Ska gigs! The old cuckoo's nest/concert factory in Costa Mesa! amazing times!

Joe the Greek?

[zenidogx]

Wow! No idea who these guys were before this thread. Pretty excited to delve into them based on just the 3 songs posted. I logged in just to say how relevant this music feels to me despite its age. Nice snag Goldenvoice! Especially glad they are on Sunday. The weekest day on the lineup IMO.

Each day is a week day.

[DonnyLama]

Yeah, the Three O'Clock are so far my favorite band that I didn't know existed prior to the lineup announcement. The albums are solid. The tunes are catchy. There aren't many bands I'd see over them Sunday.

Joe the Greek?

Jaz the Irishman.

[Lynn163]

This is the way I remember them. Still amazed they're on the line up.

[jazzz]

Same here! I was just playing Baroque Hoedown record that I bought at Camel Records back in '82!

[captncrzy]

I just realized that I had the Three O'Clock on one of my "Coachella Through the Decades" contest posters a few years ago.

[Miroir Noir]

I somehow entirely missed that they were back/playing Coachella. Better now than after the fest!

[apachedino]

We appreciate your interest in the band. Our last performance was in 1988. Which songs you would like to hear?

After listening through most of your albums a couple times here is what I am hoping to hear.

She Turns to Flowers
Mind Gardens
Happen Happened
A Day in Erotica
And So We Run
I Go Wild


The next level down from that would include
Grimly Forming
Fall to the Ground
Seeing is Believing
Hand in Hand
On my Own

Thanks!
I am glad I found out about you guys. Excited for the set.

Man, they still sound really good. zenidogx, how was the show?

[zenidogx]

Couldn't tell they've been gone so long. On top of their sound and they looked excited to be back. Michael's voice may have even sounded better than on record. They played most stuff from Sixteen Tambourines and Baroque Hoedown. Highlights for me were "Lucifer Sam," "When Lightning Starts," and "And So We Run." They didn't play anything from Ever After or Vermillion. But I ain't complainin'.

[zenidogx]

I went into this thinking it'd be one less conflict at Coachella, but this was such a fun show that I may just have to catch them again.

[SPX_clothing]

YEA!

[Lynn163]

Had the best time last night seeing them again after so many years! Loved the Birds cover of Feel a whole lot better too! Can't wait to see them again this weekend!

[negaverse]

Was very surprised as well to see their name in little bold letters on Sunday. Started checking these guys out when bands like Stone Roses & Primal Scream started naming them as influences. John Squire is a big west coast pop fan.

BE THERE !!!

[gaypalmsprings]

I enjoyed their set. Now I know why, the lead singer is in his 50s and is openly gay. That explains the pink drums.

[TomAz]

I wanna know if he and the drummer planned their shirts that way.

This was a great set.

[IceyHotshot]

I was thoroughly impressed, especially with the guitarist.

[TomAz]

12 string Rickenbacher!

[IceyHotshot]

Hell I was telling Jason how impressed I was with him even before he brought that bad boy out. That was just icing on the cake.

[motionnn77]

I was there for a few opening songs. I had no idea who they were. They were good, but I wasn't quite feeling them:-/

[ods..]

This was a great set.

Definitely. Great early day vibes and amazing sound

[sonnyboy11]

Sad I missed the Coachella set (bought their tote bag like a fanboy tho). I'm gonna try to get over to that Troubadour set next Wed.

[jazzz]

I wanna know if he and the drummer planned their shirts that way.

This was a great set.

I was thinking the same thing.

And nice meeting you at Selecter.
