Three Litre, Off The Radar, Coley Park, Pete and the Pirates at After Dark, Reading, Thu 19 Jan

Review by ben marwood

I heard a rumour on the internet that these days, gigs don’t just happen in places with culture, they also happen in Reading. Tonight’s monthly showcase of local acts at the town’s sweatiest club, the self-proclaimed ‘legendary’ After Dark, features an almost alarmingly strong bill courtesy of local fanzine ‘Blah Blah’ in which three of the four bands are signed. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s quite an achievement for a place which up until recently lacked any cutting edge bands, and where the musical Hall of Fame currently consists of the Cooper Temple Clause, Morning Runner and that guy from Les Rhythm Digitales..»

Three Litre

Entertaining band, formerly of Reading before relocating across the South of England and going on hiatus in the summer of 2005.

Songs include 'I love cats, and I love kittens' and their two singles on Velocity 'I hate Christmas' and 'G.O.D.D.E.S.S'. »

Coley Park

Alt-indie-country five piece from the Reading area. Think the Dandy Warhols meets Floyd meets Mercury Rev and you're not far wrong.»

Pete and the Pirates

Reading five-piece Pete and the Pirates play skewed, off-kilter indie pop with signature changes and howled vocals.
