The Immortal Lee County Killers 3

Its a great pleasure for us here at the Ballroom to put on a show for Alabama's finest: the ILCK3 . 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.

"The music to bring down these tired old machines and give juice to the new power, the forgotten power, the power of the people." Thrasher Magazine

"Most importantly there is a whole lot of soul among the hollerin' and preachin'" NME

"Total destruction of the mind" Rolling Stone

Brothers amongst others.T.H.P.D live sound continues through
touring to gather strength, momentum and new fans and in doing so the band
have earned exceptional live reviews where they have been described as …

"World class music. A two-piece phenomenon
with the power and energy of a full-scale orchestra. Garage band blues and
Psychedelia with high wire firebrand extravert guitar and vocals anchored
with power hammer drumming. Pterodactyl guitar cries and blazes of feedback
with showers of cymbals. Hyper Robert Johnson fully plugged in. Top drawer
Hendrix moves and guitar grooves."
