Formed in Maastricht in 1997, 3-1 started with the idea to create a collective of artists, musicians, graphic/interaction designers and vj’s. In 1998 they moved to Amsterdam and based themselves in a squatted hospital. From there 3-1 started growing as a band and performing live at parties. After the hospital they moved to an old film academy building where they still have their studio.
3-1 has done about 130 live performances in clubs, festivals, galeries, musea and other venues in the last 4 years. They played loads in Holland but also in France, Japan, USA, Germany, Spain, Belgium and Poland.
The music is called ‘pistol pop or electropunk’, it is a mix of electro, breaks, punk, acid and rock’n’roll. The name ‘pistol pop’ fits the music but it even more the full live show. The thing about a 3-1 show is the raw and surprising aspect. There is live music, video, performance and a lot of show. Its something you will enjoy cause it will hit you like a bullit.
Anyway, enough crap talk, just go and see them.
In The Morning

Birds is chirping, she just topped me off
Haters yipping and yapping, don't hear shit y'all sound like la-di-da
Roll up after top, smoke the grass and count the guap
Pour a couple shots to celebrate, cause its a lot
Take a deep breathe
Look at me when you do it
Don't be shy baby go and put your back into it
Only one type of bill, people call me Mr.Blue-strips
Oh you the only woman that can go and move it like that
Just so its understood, every time you move it like that
I gotta react, I'm switching my stance, I go to reach around
She said to play with both ends
If I go and make it nasty baby could you keep up with it
Ima' walk you through the steps of all these freaky new positions
She said I want you behind my ass just like True Religion
So I go back and do my thing and I just
She bring the freak out in the morning
Birds is chirping, she just topped me off
Haters yipping and yapping, don't hear shit y'all sound like la-di-da
Roll up after top, smoke the grass and count the guap
Pour a couple shots to celebrate, cause its a lot
She bring the freak out in the morning
Birds is chirping, she just topped me off
Haters yipping and yapping, don't hear shit y'all sound like la-di-da
Roll up after top, smoke the grass and count the guap
Pour a couple shots to celebrate, cause its a lot
She bring the freak out in the morning, She start when I'm yawning
I don't care about some whiskers I'm still eating regardless
Baby I been starving for it, love the sounds that you making
So much temptation, TR3V go inside creating liquid nations
She bring the freak out in the morning, freak out in the morning
She bring the freak out in the morning, freak out in the morning
She bring the freak out in the morning, freak out in the morning
