I am Three http://www.myspace.com/jesuistrois
are an acoustic duo from Manchester. The two members, Hughes (acoustic guitar/vocals) and Irving (double bass/vocals) cut their musical teeth over several years in bands and solo projects and began performing together in 2008 by taking a set of original songs and unveiling them at impromptu shows in cafes, art galleries, shop and restaurants. Mixing music normally heard in dark, greasy live music venues and a relaxed daylight setting.
The combination of I Am Three’s two song writers and their opposing interests create a genre defying mix of identifiable styles such as grunge, alt-folk, blues & hip-hop.
Their low-key spontaneous unplugged performances continue in the UK along side a handful of concerts and in October they are staging a series of shows in France, Netherlands, Germany & Italy as part of their first European tour.
Fallen Phoenix - http://www.myspace.com/fallenphoenixmusic
starting off simply in a garage before progressing on to a studio the band have found something very natural between them, not only helping the focus on the finished project but making it a very easy enviroment to experiment in. to say a band is the brain child of one person is the norm in bands these days, Fallen Phoenix are nothing what so ever about that, to say that a band is the brain child of 5 people who share a goal is something completley different, no one is lack luster, no one is carried and everyone within the band has helped shape the sound that is before you now. Giving a nod to their idols along the way this is something that has been missing as of late, a band that not only looks for catchy melodies to keep you coming back, but also has depth to the music, all in all, its working...
