3 Continues Work on New Album, Schedules Performances in New York state area
Guitarist/vocalist Joey Eppard offers the following update on the progress for 3's new, and sixth, studio album.
"We just wrapped up our first week at Applehead Studios. It's been a personal dream of mine to record in the room my father designed and built. It's almost like having him play on the record. The drum sounds CJB dialed in were fantastic and the Gartdrumm was in full effect. This record is going to be something very special. Our live performances are going to be rare this summer because most of our energy will be going into the making of our new record, but we do have a few very special shows coming up. June 11th will see "3" perform at the Basement's 3 year anniversary show. Later this summer we'll be debuting new material at our August 28th Bearsville performance where we'll be joined by Josh Eppard's new band: "Terrible Things." Of course I'll also be doing a few solo gigs to keep me sharp."

3 Issues An Update On Their New Album!
Woodstock, NY's 3, one of the world's most innovative rock bands, has signed a new deal with Metal Blade and is working on their new album. Previously, they have released Wake Pig (2005), The End Is Begun (2007) and Revisions (2009) on Metal Blade. 3's entire discography now spans over a decade, going all the way back to Paint By Number (1999) and Summercamp Nightmare (2003). Over the course of their career they have toured with the Scorpions, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, and many, many more.
3's Joey Eppard offers the following update:
"We are well on our way to making our greatest 3 album yet. After looking at several horrific offers from other labels, we decided to continue with Metal Blade Records because they actually care about our music and truly believe in what we do. We were tossing around the idea of releasing it one song at a time, each with a video. Basically like episodes. Let us know what you think.
Meanwhile I'll be doing a couple solo gigs in April."

3 complete video for “Rabid Animals”; celebrate the release of “Revisions” with Nov/Dec shows
An update from 3 main man, Joey Eppard!
“Hey all, we’ve had an incredible couple of weeks. It started with the making of the video for Rabid Animals which evolved into an interactive shoot on day 1 where the fans could comment in real time and influence the direction of the video. On Day 2 we invaded Saugerties and got everyone we could to foam at the mouth for the camera. From cops to chefs to store clerks, beauticians, to the grand finale of an entire bar full of people all foaming at once, everyone went the extra mile for this video. And of course we got lots of great videos from our friends and fans as well. A Huge Thanks to you all!!!! We should have the final cut very soon but meanwhile you can check out some of the mayhem from day 1 at: www.livestream.com/3live
Were also discussing the possibility of a live streamed interactive concert where we will perform and you can influence the set in real time! This would be a great way to reach many of our fans spread out across the world at once. Let us know what you think of this idea!”

The event will be streamed live at http://www.livestream.com/3live and there will be a chat room on the page where you can talk directly with the band, the director and the record label (www.metalblade.com).
We will be calling on you to send in web/cell phone cam video clips for inclusion in the video. From the response we have already received, we know that we will be surprised and inspired by what you send us.

3 announce new album, “Revisions”
3’s follow up to 2007’s critically-acclaimed album, The End Is Begun, has been finished! Revisions will be available on October 27th and sees 3 re-examining their past, sometimes lesser known material. The band digs into their back catalogue of forward thinking and, as always, incredibly melodic songs to breathe new life into what some fans may have missed out on.
3 describes Revisions as a collection that “taps the rich history of 3 by re-examining some of the earlier songs that made us who we are today. Some of them are known from early live bootlegs, others existed only on cassette and were transferred to the internet by dedicated fans. In any event, these are songs that we felt deserved a second chance, a “revision” if you will. Our passion for music is truly the common thread that binds our diverse body of work.”
Revisons track listing:
1. Anyone Human (1998)
2. Rabid Animals (2000)
3. The Better Half Of Me (2001)
4. Automobile (1998)
5. Why (2002)
6. Lexicon Of Extremism (2006)
7. Fable (2002)
8. You’ve Been Shot (1998)
9. Halloween (2002)
10. The Emerald Undertow (1998)
11. The Game (1998)
What’s previously been said about 3:
“The disc is a rollicking trip of frenzied, yet muted guitar riffs hefty enough to satisfy the metal crowd.” Alternative Press
“Three serve up a labyrinthine, guitar-laden progressive rock without pretension or needless indulgence.” Revolver Magazine
“Meticulously crafted, brazenly risky and perfectly performed, The End is Begun is Three’s newest rock-prog mindwarp, designed specifically to confound and inspire as it traverses rock, lullabies, pop, metal and just about everywhere in between.” Decibel Magazine
“With a voice as astonishing as his ability to craft a tune, Eppard stirs the soul with inspiring and memorable vocal melodies and passages, while the rest of the band builds a complex house of cards behind him.” Outburn Magazine
