DIRTY GARAGE ROCK FROM THE MEDWAY DELTA WITH THE LEN PRICE 3(UK) + THE URGES + THE STINGWRAYS + MONGOHORN + DJ @ THE VOODOO LOUNGE, SATURDAY JANUARY 20th. TICKETS: €13.00 DOORS 8.30pm TILL LATE LIVE REVIEWS: "We're the Len Price 3," singer-guitarist Glenn Page declared, "and this is what we do." Which turned out to be endless, inventive twists on the grunting-guitar riff in the Kinks' "You Really Got Me," combined with shots of the early Who and the runaway Seventies pub rock of Dr. Feelgood. Wearing matching black-and-white striped jerseys, black stovepipe pants and white sneakers, they updated their obsessions with an immediate slash and speed that have made their debut CD, Chinese Burn, a turntable hit on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show. David Fricke - ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE BIOG The Len Price 3 are a raw garage pop band hailing from the Medway Delta in North Kent; that fabled corner of the Garden of England, which has spawned such cult acts as Wild Billy Childish & the Buff Medways, The Milkshakes, The Prisoners and The Dentists. Forged from that same Medway tradition, with an undeniably 21st Century makeover, the sound and songs of The Len Price 3, tightly wound and stripped to the bone, deliver an exhilarating and unforgettable rush of frenetic energy and indelible hooks. By turns gritty and punchy, their delivery is sweetened by strong melodies and almost Beatlesque harmonies - one eye on the future, while doffing their caps to the classic early period output of The Who, The Sonics and The Kinks, with perhaps just a knowing sideways glance at the kind of urgency The Clash delivered at their best. Utilising vintage analogue equipment at full throttle, the live Len Price 3 experience channels that dynamic power into performances few bands can ever dream to muster. Having recently signed to Little Stevens (aka Steve Van Zandt, Silvio Dante/The Sopranos) “Wicked Cool” label in the USA, The Len Price 3’s first album “Chinese Burn” (originally released through their former label in 2005 “Laughing Outlaw”) will finally be re-released in the USA. This will be followed in early 2007 with their new album “Rentacrowd”. Their forthcoming new single “Sailors Sweetheart” has just been used for a Major TV advertising campaign for the “Old Navy” clothing line & is receiving major airplay & coverage across the USA & Canada. In support of both albums & the new single, the Len Price 3 will be touring the UK as well as venturing further a field to mainland Europe, Australia & the U.S as the year progresses. •“The Len Price 3” will make their Irish live debut on Saturday January 20th 2007 @ Dublin’s Voodoo Lounge.
