Ben Harding - Guitar/backing vocals
Keith Baxter- Drums
Although Three Colours Red have been together for about a
year, vocalist Pete Vuckovic and guitarist Chris McCormack
actually wrote songs together for two months before they
met! Pete lived in Birmingham while Chris had relocated from
his native North East to London and this geographical gap
forced the two, who had been put in touch with each other by
a mutual friend, to send tapes and ideas to each other by
post. Eventually they met face to face and the rapport
between them was so good they decided to form a band. They
got Keith Baxter in on drums and started to rehearse.
They were very quickly ready to gig but felt that they
needed a second guitarist to augment their sound and add to
the harmonies which have become such a distinctive feature
of the band's individual style. Ben Harding, ex: Senseless
Things, was the man for the job and the line up was
complete. Before the band's first gig a demo was recorded
(Ben and Pete actually met for the first time at this
session!) featuring the tracks "Pure", "This Is My
Hollywood" and "Sunny In England" which have since surfaced
on the band's only release to date, a single on respected
indie Fierce Panda records. (As an aside I could mention
that a rather classy video was shot to go with this single
but very few people have seen it because Chris lost the
master copy whilst on a pub crawl in Camden.)
