2wo Third3

For a brief moment in the mid-90s, 2wo Third3 were the greatest band in the world. The four-piece trio (Biff, their cartoon character songwriter, went on to write most of the Spice Girls' number ones) only released four singles - an album was recorded by never issued - but they represent a perfect pocket of super-stylised pop. As well as Lee, Danny, Victor and Biff, 2wo Third3 were also the work of manager Tom Watkins (Pet Shop Boys, East 17, Bros) and London design firm Form (responsible for most decent record sleeves since 1991). They were also the first sort-of-openly gay pop band. After band split-up: Lee disappeared for a few years and then re-emerged as 4th Child Dan went into music publishing and licensing. Victor went back to plumbing. Biff went on to bigger, better things in the world of music production.
