So you clicked here. We're assuming that you're curious as hell about what Kozmo 3 is like. That's great. It really is. Except we can't write our whole goddamn autobiography here or anything.

For one thing, Kozmo 3 is a modern rock band currently playing in Seoul, South Korea. They are a leading attraction in the burgeoning music scene in the Hong-ik University area of Seoul, if you want to know the truth.

Usually, there's always some bigshot deejays that attract massive crowds with their ability to manipulate fifty thousand crumby little knobs just to put the next song on, for chrissakes.

Or some band that're still playing that goddam Buggles' song, or playing other songs that we wished we'd never heard anyway.

Kozmo 3 doesn't pretend. They just offer an edgy modern rock sound that is organic and honest, with elements of folk and blues sensibilities and all. And if you're the type of jerk that likes to sing along and get drunk as hell while watching one of K3's high-energy live shows, you will find that the lyrics aren't the corny "I love you I miss you baby" pseudo-punk fare either. Not to mention their real punk attitude, they're actually pretty goddam intelligent, without trying to sound intelligent. Old Kozmo 3, boy. They're aces.

You probably want to know something about their goddam sound. I don't want to say too much about it except that Kozmo 3 exploits their private collection of vintage and modern guitars and a selective use of finer effects to produce sound that revs with unbridled energy or hypnotizes with mellifluous phrases, and often accomplishes each of these feats in a single number.

Difficult to classify and impossible to ignore, Kozmo 3's sound is the product of eclectic influences, zero formal musical training, and nervous systems loaf-popping with everything from caffeine to codeine. Listening to Kozmo 3's sonic output might just elicit nostalgia for the future you wish you had had.




Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do you start missing everybody. (pg.214)




as you will probably gather from reading this website, Kozmo 3 currently has rekindled an interest, an infatuation even, with THE CATCHER IN THE RYE. i've peppered this site with some quotes and some lingo from that text and even give some page numbers, too. I use the page numbers from the Little, Brown Books edition, which has a white cover and a rainbow-colored streak on the top left corner.

the Oras Brother's are adept satirists with trenchant wits, voracious appetites for irony, and uncanny abilities to see through the illusive properties of material culture and "thing" fetish-ism; then serving their twisted views and analyses on a humble linguistic paper plate with plastic cutlery safe for consumption by one and all.

they're also swell guys that like pets, too.
