I remember a band called the Targets were playing too. It was a cool scene of modern day Mods. I remember Micheal Quercio's huge bass sound when he sang I Go Wild. I met Mike a decade later when he was playing a gig at The Doll Hut. He was a cool dude and it was good to see him continue to perform and make music. I met Danny Benair during a Lush concert where Weezer opened. I just said hello and complimented him. He is a great drummer and cool to speak with on Facebook!Amatolmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617531310788114114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-14034785604742561032008-09-24T06:29:00.000+01:002008-09-24T06:29:00.000+01:00Saw the 3 O'Clock back in the day, great band, Mic...Saw the 3 O'Clock back in the day, great band, Michael Quercio, wooooo! Jet Fighter is a great song. Remember being broke and stealing the Sixteen Tambourines cassette tape from Tower Records on Beach Blvd. and playing it in my car until it wore out...wonderful music, wonderful time, I had a paisley flannel pyjama top that I would wear around all the time, loved it so much! Ah the 80's...of course Michael turned out to be gay, he always was delicate and fey, wasn't he?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-1166357122866930242006-12-17T12:05:00.000+00:002006-12-17T12:05:00.000+00:00I would be interested in a repost of these tracks ...I would be interested in a repost of these tracks as well.

Salvation Army-era through "16 Tambourines" is easily my fave period for these guys (though I stayed interested enough 'til the bitter end), so I'm really really glad to have these tunes again (lost that Lolita pressing long ago).Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230497449085686841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-1140565758994286242006-02-21T23:49:00.000+00:002006-02-21T23:49:00.000+00:00Thanks for the tunes..

First exposure, I was in San Diego on vacation (1983? 84?) and saw them at SDSU or UCSD.. and at the time thought I was a "punk rocker".. I didn't know what to make of the whole psychedelic scene.. passing grapes to the crowd.. talking about Love.. Beatles haircuts... I wanted to F*** S*** UP, man! But the dirty secret I carried.. I was a sucker then, and still am, for good Pop tunes.. I loved them!<BR/><BR/>Now.. to just find good cd pressing of 16 Tamborines!<BR/><BR/>e_bone9 at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-1137390151074778822006-01-16T05:42:00.000+00:002006-01-16T05:42:00.000+00:00I'm not sure why these are rarities -- my old vers...I'm not sure why these are rarities -- my old version of Baroque Hoedown had both these songs -- but then again that was a French pressing (now sadly long gone). Exactly how the three o'clock -- let alone a French pressing -- made it's way to a small record shop in nowhereville Ontario in 1982 I'll never know but sometimes life is magic.<BR/><BR/>This album sent me scouring all over for a paisley shirt -- back then they were actually hard to find, especially in a small town. I ended up wearing an old paisley pyjama top around. Desperate but true -- it was the 80s after all.<BR/><BR/>These brought back wonderful memories for me. Thank you so much. I'd love to see the rest of the album posted (hey there's only 4 more tracks after all!)<BR/><BR/>thanks againAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-1136854972002873512006-01-10T01:02:00.000+00:002006-01-10T01:02:00.000+00:00I was punching in "the three o'clock" in google ju...I was punching in "the three o'clock" in google just out of boredom and curiosity of a band that I remembered back in the 80's and look at this! Although not a huge fan, my little brother (now 30 somthing) was/is. In fact he and I used to go see these guys all over LA in some of the grungiest dive bars in some obscure places. At the time my little brother was a Mod and the interesting thing about it was that he was only 11 years old! The youngest mod on the scence by far! I remember a gig they did at the Palace off Vine in LA and Michael and Louis noticed my brother (Greg) and pulled him up on stage! What a scene. It wasn't long after, Greg (my brothe) formed a freindship with the band and was asked to be in the "Jet Fighter" video (the scene where the boy grows to a man). There were many shows and parties all the the tender age of 11-12 (I was 15-16). My brother then started his own band (I'm sure influenced by the Three O'clock) and continues to play the LA/Orange County scene. He's currently fronting "Sterling" www.sterlingtheband.com you may hear some similarities? I could go on and on about The Three O'clock and stories about the Bangles as well (Louis was dating Susana Hoffs of the Bangles at the time) but this is a long enough blog.
