Extremely busy week for me here — I hope to have a further entry up on Friday but we’ll see!
So given that — inspired by PDF’s comment in the previous entry about the Fear/Elvis Hitler/Dwarves lineup he saw once, what was your favorite three-band lineup you’ve ever seen? No festivals or anything — only three bands or musicians on the bill and all of them killed. (I’m not totally sure of my answer! But I’ll think on it…)

I’m sure there’s probably others that I’m forgetting but my immediate answer is Shellac.

But who else was on the bill?
(I apologize if the question seems unclear but I’m not talking about just a trio on stage — three separate acts!)

No, you’ve got me there I’m afraid. There was only one other band on the bill, they weren’t that good and I can’t remember their name (although I AM pretty sure that there were 3 of them in the band).
Upon re-reading it, your question was perfectly clear – I just read it too fast.

Nine Inch Nails
Jane’s Addiction
Mew

not necessarily the greatest show, but a very memorable triple-bill (mostly for the unannounced middle act):
The Moldy Peaches
Afroman
They Might Be Giants

Hahah that’s pretty great!

Easy:
Hum + Swervedriver + The Universal Chrome
March 11, 1998, House of Blues, New Orleans
A more recent one would be:
Achim Kaufmann / Frank Gratkowski / Wilbert De Joode Trio + Charalambides + Alasdair Roberts
November 28, 2007, Hi-Ho Lounge, New Orleans

Both those sound pretty great! Not familiar with the Universal Chrome, what were they like?
