LAST GANG IN TOWN present...
AOS3 - The legendary AOS3 are back to contribute their own brand of psychedelic dubbed up punk to the soundtrack of the revolution once more.
Formed in Sunderland in 1990, AOS3 took their name from the initials of Augustus Owsley Stanley III, the infamous LSD dealer who hung around with the Grateful Dead and the Merry Pranksters in the 60’s. The bands logo comprises interlinked anarchy, peace, Om, and Yin Yang symbols, which together spell out ‘AOS3’.
In the early 1990s before the 1994 Criminal Justice Act the band played on the free festival circuit throughout the UK. AOS3 also toured regularly with bands such as Radical Dance Faction, Citizen Fish, Culture Shock and Back To The Planet.
Part of the anarcho punk movement, AOS3’s lyrics reflect the bands political stance. The songs ‘Battle of Trafalgar’ and ‘Dubbin’ Up a Riot’ describe the 1990 Poll Tax Riot in Trafalgar Square, and the bands’ cover of the The AK 47’s ‘Tottenham 3’ protests the innocence of the three men wrongfully imprisoned for the murder of PC Blakelock at the Broadwater Farm Riot in 1985.
