The Vault: Traveling Through Time With The Three O’Clock
Lord knows how history will judge the “Paisley Underground” movement of the mid-to-late ’80s, during which Los Angeles was overrun by charmingly anachronistic psych-pop outfits like the Dream Syndicate and Green On Red, and everybody seemed to be dating a Bangle. The Three O’Clock were one of the forerunners of this scene–they toured with R.E.M. and even got some late-night MTV play–and even though some of their later material sounds wayyy too synth-loaded today, these two singles still have as much punch as they did in the Reagan era:
