3-1, pistol pop from Amsterdam. For several years now 3-1 have been playing all over Europe and recently also in Japan. More details about 3-1 can be found at www.basserk.com , www.310k.nl or www.myspace.com/31live Formed in Maastricht in 1997, 3-1 started with the idea to create a collective of artists, musicians, graphic/interaction designers and vj’s. In 1998 they moved to Amsterdam and based themselves in a squatted hospital. From there 3-1 started growing as a band and performing live at parties. After the hospital they moved to an old film academy building where they still have their studio. 3-1 has done about 130 live performances in clubs, festivals, galeries, musea and other venues in the last 4 years. They played loads in Holland but also in France, Japan, USA, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Poland. The music is called ‘pistol pop or electropunk’, it is a mix of electro, breaks, punk, acid and rock’n’roll. The name ‘pistol pop’ fits the music but it even more the full live show. The thing about a 3-1 show is the raw and surprising aspect. There is live music, video, performance and a lot of show. Its something you will enjoy cause it will hit you like a bullit. Anyway, enough crap talk, just go and see them. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
