The Lickerish Quartet, featuring ex-Jellyfish members Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Beck, Air, Cheap Trick, Imperial Drag), Tim Smith (Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, The Finn Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Umajets) and Eric Dover (Imperial Drag, Slash’s Snakepit, Alice Cooper, Sextus)— are proud to announce the release of their “third child”, Threesome Vol. 3.
Set for release May 20th, 2022 on Stranger Danger Records and Tapes, distributed by Burnside and the Orchard in the U.S. and by Lojinx in the U.K. and Europe, Threesome Vol. 3 came together via remote writing, recording, and mixing, finalizing the EP through a series of emails and phone calls. Home recording studios were redesigned and outfitted to complete the final four songs that were originally written together in 2017. Threesome Vol. 3 completes the trilogy started with the release of Threesome Vol. 1 in 2020, and Threesome Vol. 2, which was released in early 2021.
“Fortunately,” the EP’s first single, had also been released as an instant download along with a pre-order for the EP, and the video has been released on Youtube. “New Days” will be released as the second single on April 22nd.
The Lickerish Quartet have continued to engage with their fans via their website and “Experiences”, a series of collaborative connections of writing together with folks, performing on songs submitted to the band, personalized songs and messages, lessons in songwriting and production, as well as numerous Zoom-hosted breakdowns of their songs in-studio followed by a Q&A with the fans about the process, choices made, and equipment used to create their music.
Meanwhile, Sony Japan recently partnered with The Lickerish Quartet to release all three EPs on June 29th, as a collection entitled Fables From Fearless Heights, which will include two previously unheard cover songs, as well as a special “best of” vinyl LP in that region.
