Three Liter Hit-My Life Before The Accident Cassette

I saw Three Liter Hit play at the Magic Bean coffee shop in Springfield in the mid-1990’s. They played punk/alt. rock with a goofy abandon, and I picked a copy of their professionally recorded tape, which became a favorite of mine. Coming out of Wisconsin, the band was apparently something of a local legend. This 1994 release features upbeat, unpredictable songs with some very thoughtful lyric courtesy of frontman Keith Killoren, who later went on to play with the bands Budapest One and the Drams. Keyboard player Nate gave their music some interesting texture by performing some low-key ballads to go along with the more up-beat stuff. A truly obscure band that is very much worth checking out.

1. The Luxurious Alcoholic
2. Rendezvous with a Chambermaid
3. Sinsemilla
4. Rock and Roll Loser
5. After-School Special
6. No Smoking Policy
7. The Altruist
8. Pocketful of Shankers
9. Suddenly, It’s Raining
10. Nate’s Mic Check
11. My Life Before the Accident
12. Whirling Dervish

Enjoy

  1. There were so many great E.C. bands in the late 90's. Personal favs include Three-Liter, Touch is Automatic, Drunk Drivers, and The Failures. Great stuff...
