DM3 - One Time, Two Times, Three Red Light

A quick change of gears here with some extremely good Australian Garage Rock curtsy of one of Western Australia’s rock greats, Dom Marini. Following the sad demise of The Stems Marini went back to work in his architects office. The buzz of playing live though was still pulling at his strings and eventually Marini set out to play some more 60’s Garage influenced Rock ‘n’ Roll with other Perth based musicians. DM3 (Dom Marini Three) came about following the band Someloves break up as Marini wanted to take the band on tour. In creating DM3 as primarily a live band the group hit the road. Their debut album One Time, Two Time, Three Red Light marked a change in the Aussie Garage Rock movement by adding extremely powerful psychedelic guitar rock. Guitar riffs come in sheets like a midsummer downpour and this stream of bold chords is no less refreshing and Marini’s vocals are harmonious and demanding. There are many elements of power pop on the album but the music goes beyond the frames of this genre; the album is as rich musically as the best standards of psychedelic rock of the late sixties. Grab a-hold of your cold one mate, this is gonna be a ripper!
