DM3 - JUST LIKE NANCY EP (1999)

DM3’s final ever single is pure class. Over the last two decades Dom Mariani has spent his time trying to write the perfect pop song and Just Like Nancy rates up there as one of his finest moments. Written as a tribute to girls in go-go boots, "Just Like Nancy" also finds Dom bringing the fun back to DM3’s sound.


Reduced to a two-piece at the time of recording (with Dom having to play bass himself) most bands would have just given up the game at this point. Not DM3. With Superscope’s Kevin Borrusso roped in provide additional guitar and Velo Zupanovich providing some all-too-cool handclaps, Just Like Nancy is a fitting epitaph to one of the 90’s finest power pop bands.

The other new song, "How Ya Feelin’" is just as good, perhaps even better with it’s slightly neo-psychedelic feel, Dom’s trademark crunching guitar and Marina Spadaccini’s great backing vocals.

This is the 7" pink vinyl edition and two previously available instrumentals; the farfisa driven "Rome" and the lovely "Oriana".replace the CD live tracks.
