This time around, it is his great fortune to be joined by R. Matthew Carroll on bass and David Rodgers on drums.

The name Brahms' Third Racket comes a brilliant line uttered by John Cleese's character Basil Fawlty in Falwty Towers, the short-lived, much-acclaimed, and insanely funny BBC show from the 1970s.

B3R is about to release a new album entitled Out of Order which you can hear in its entirely at brahmsthirdracket.bandcamp.com.

Written, recorded and produced by Wishnefsky, Out of Order returns to the electronic meets organic approach that Wish has employed on a number of works. Lyrically, the songs are roughly based on Wish's current, slightly embarrassing passion for Dr. Who.

Michael James and Wishnefsky mixed Out of Order.

B3R’s first album Strings Attached was released in 2013. It consists of a group of songs Wish wrote on acoustic guitar. Thus, Strings Attached is a bit warmer and more organic than Wish’s usual fare. Yet, despite the absence of the usual electronica, these songs feature the usual Wish recipe of lyrical bite, melodic taste, and harmonic sweetener.

Wishnefsky once again conned, connived, and convinced the supremely talented Michael James into mixing and mastering Strings Attached. That’s why it sounds so fucking awesome. If you reach the conclusion, in your considered opinion, that any particular parts do not sound fucking awesome, please blame and assign culpability to Wish, who, in all likelihood, stupidity refused to follow Michaels’ sage advice and instead conned, connived, and convinced Michael, ruthlessly, to ramble down the ruinous road of redundantly rotten reverberation. Really!

Wish wrote and recorded a large number of songs for Strings Attached, yet only nine of them have made the final cut. If you clamor and grovel with enough enthusiasm, we may make some of the unreleased tracks available at the Lost Dog website.

In late 2013, B3R released All of the Above - a compilation of many of the songs B3R plays live.

These songs are culled from B3R’s first record Strings Attached and a number of Wishnefsky solo records (Sunlight Disinfectant, Fiasco – Book One, Nightwalker, Idiot Proof). This is not the complete collection of songs B3R might play live. They have been known to play new unreleased material, older Wishnefsky material, and even a few songs from Wish and Dave’s old band Jabberwock. B3R does not repeat the same set. They keep it fresh, kind of like the mints in the bowl at the reception desk of a nice hotel..
