The Three Amigos (band)

The Three Amigos were a band in the late 1990s and early 2000s, most famous for their cover of "Louie Louie".

Biography

The Three Amigos first single was their cover of "Louie Louie". Released in July 1999, it reached #15 in the UK Singles Chart.[1] The band's logo on the single cover paid tribute to the logo of The Kingsmen, one of the first bands to cover "Louie Louie".[2] The single also featured a remix by The Wiseguys.

The Three Amigos were made up of Dylan Amlot, Milroy Nadarajah, Josh Powell and Marc Williams.[3]

Since the breakup of the band Dylan Amlot has continued to DJ,[4] while Milroy Nadarajah turned to crime and, in 2004, was jailed for seven years for supplying cocaine to a London drug gang.[5]

gollark: Usually it's my extremely janky WiFi network failing, but it seems to be working fine today. I'll tracepathize it.
gollark: It might be that, or my internet connection. I can't really tell.
gollark: I can't actually do anything except move around slightly. I would have assumed it was a network issue, but htop says I'm only doing a few tens of KB/s.
