The Lickerish Quartet

Power Pop Supergroup

The Lickerish Quartet is a band that reunites former members of the power pop group Jellyfish, which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band consists of Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Tim Smith, and Eric Dover, all of whom were part of Jellyfish or associated acts during their careers. After Jellyfish disbanded, these musicians continued to work in various capacities within the music industry, contributing to different projects and bands. The formation of The Lickerish Quartet marked a return to their power pop roots, with a sound that echoes the intricate harmonies and elaborate arrangements reminiscent of their previous work. Their releases, such as "Threesome Vol. 1" and "Threesome Vol. 2," showcase their commitment to crafting melodic pop music with sophisticated songwriting. The band's name is a nod to the avant-garde film "The Lickerish Quartet" by Radley Metzger, reflecting perhaps a certain eclecticism and appreciation for art in their musical approach.
