Cookin’ On 3 Burners

Cookin’ On 3 Burners are Australia’s hardest hitting Hammond Organ trio with Ivan “Choi” Khatchoyan keeping those drum breaks tighter than a mosquito’s tweeter, Jake Mason making the Hammond swell and scream and Dan West twanging his guitar like a boss.

Shane Murphy from Melbourne’s The Daily Review described the CO3B Lab Experiments launch show as “…slick, taut and punchy…” and “…a must see… it feels like we’ve been transported back into a mid-60s Stax soul revue, audience sweating it out on the dance floor…” - high praise indeed!

The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 bestowed some funky love for lead single Real Life Baby calling it a ”Wonderful slice of bright, shimmering soul!” New York City heavyweights Wax Poetics are feeling “… a heavy breakbeat flip of the Metallica classic ‘Enter Sandman’, and an action-packed video to go with it…” and French tastemakers Musiculture described the new CO3B ‘Lab Experiments’ album as ”Timeless soul....torrid heat!"
