Summary:The third band, Jack Feels Fine, also is a trio. Much tighter and more dynamic than the preceding group, JFF shares one weakness with 3,000 B.C., which is a lack of strongly structured and distinctive material. On the other hand, the keening vibrato of the group's singer and the use of semi-acoustic guitar does set this three- piece apart while its vigorous, enthusiastic performances recall the early new wave days of The Cure, Members and others. Yep, 3,000 B.C. is another eager bunch of neo-hippies, this one an inexperienced three-piece aspiring to be a power trio in the mould originally cast by Cream. To avoid becoming Grand Funk Railroad instead, the bassist and particularly the drummer (who has a serious meter problem) need to improve their rhythm work. A power trio has to become extremely tight before it can get loose.
