Dragon Inn 3
Dragon Inn 3 is an electronic pop project led by former Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin co-founder Philip Dickey. Combining warm, melodic synth pop with the dark-hued ambiance of electronic forebears like Giorgio Moroder and Vangelis, the band released a pair of full-length albums, 2018's Double Line and 2023's Trade Secrets, on American Laundromat Records.
The group's genesis dates back to 2012 when Dickey contributed the theme song to a short film by director E.P. Marcus called Ghoul School. The creativity sparked by working together quickly resulted in the two forming a band. Recruiting Dickey's sister, Sharon Bowie, and his wife Grace Bentley, the newly formed Dragon Inn 3 issued the Ghoul School EP later that year. Although the group's members were spread out between Kansas City, Los Angeles, and Springfield, Missouri, they spent the next six years chipping away at a full-length album, eventually signing on with American Laundromat Records. Combining playful '80s synth pop and the moody feel of the Blade Runner soundtrack, Dragon Inn 3's full-length debut, Double Line, appeared in August 2018.
Another five years passed before the band completed their follow-up. Similar in spirit to their debut, 2023's Trade Secrets also saw Dragon Inn 3 reaching out to work with collaborators like Kansas City-based Congolese rhumba group the Salvation Choir and Michigan musician Ben Collins (Minihorse, Lightning Love).
