In 2003 we saw the them tear up the international bar and reduce it to raw rock'n'roll putty: ILCK3: Punk blues with enough psychadelia For William Faulkner's ghost to feel nervous around mirrors; the music of ILCK3 tastes like hot molasses spreading over a slice of Howlin' Wolf, with a side of Mc5/The Doors with an inspirational dash of John Coltrane (WWJCD?),a nd maybe for dessert-sundrops of pinball. ILCK3 has recently relocated to the new home of maximum R and B on the east bank of the Cumberland river in Nashville. Having released 2 records on Estrus records and recieved mention from every periodical from Punk Planet to Rolling Stone, ILCK3 is currently on work on a third record.
