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 The Buff Medways, The Milkshakes, The Prisoners and The Dentists. Formed in a Maidstone pub, the band’s first number, a roaring psychedelic instrumental, caused the establishment to shake to such an extent that the landlord immediately barred them from any future practices. Unperturbed however, they merely booked another session under a different band name on the landlord’s night off. 

‘The Len Price 3’ moniker, chosen in an effort to sound as deliberately ‘anti-popstar’ as possible, also pays homage to Wreckless Eric’s short-lived Medway outfit The Len Bright Combo. Forged from that same Medway tradition, with an undeniably 21^st 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 Creation and The Kinks, with perhaps just a knowing sideways glance at the kind of urgency The Clash delivered at their best. 

Following their recent single, ‘Christian in the Desert’, the band are primed to unleash their debut album, ‘Chinese Burn’, recorded, like the single, in gloriously unfashionable, needles-in-the-red mono. Registering fifteen tracks in a little more than half an hour, ‘Chinese Burn’ is an unrivalled lesson in concise, inspired songwriting, deftly packing in schoolboy crushes, mortality, disturbing Victoriana and legendary 70s wrestlers respectively into such potential future classics as ‘Lai- Ha Lam’, ‘The Last Hotel’, ‘Chatham Town Spawns Devils’ and ‘Shirley Crabtree, to name but four. 

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 deservedly established a large and loyal fan base in the Medway area, frequently playing to packed venues, including a support slot with The Libertines, the band have also regularly invaded London with impunity, including appearances at the now legendary Dirty Water Club supporting The Buff Medways, their live reputation growing almost daily.

Earlier this year, their fans were treated to an awesome show at The Metro Club (Oxford Street, London) at a sold out show that left disappointed punters queuing out the door. More recently, following a show at Camden's Dublin Castle, playing to an unfamiliar audience, the band were swamped by people asking where the band had been all their lives! 

In support of both the album and single, the band will be touring the UK throughout 2005 as well as venturing further afield to mainland Europe, Australia and the U.S. as the year progresses.
