2wo Third3
Encyclopedia : 2 : 2W : 2WO : 2wo Third3
2wo Third3 were a gay four piece 1990s electropop group with three performing members and one non-performing songwriting member. They were called 2wo Third3 because out of the performing members, the two backing members dressed in identical clothes usually with rubber gloves and the frontman, Lee, didn't. He usually wore a trademark 2wo third3 plaster on his face (this being pre-Nelly). The forth member was represented by a cartoon character called Biff who appeared in the band's promotional material and record covers.
The band were managed by East 17/Bros manager Tom Watkins and signed to Sony Music UK's Epic Records label. The design aspect of the band was very important with customised yellow rubber gloves being sent out with promotional records and a free Biff plaster being issued to fans.
However after 4 singles that charted between 50 and 20 they were dropped
