Woodstock, New York (1994 – present)
There is more than one artist with this name.
1) 3 is an American experimental/progressive rock band formed in Woodstock, New York in 1994.
The band was founded as a three piece: Joey Eppard on Guitar and Lead Vocals, Josh Eppard on Drums and Chris Bittner on Bass. They came to the attention of Universal Records after well-received performances at the Woodstock festival in 1994, eventually getting signed in 1998, but following an unstable relationship with the label through its series of corporate mergers, the band was left with little prospect of releasing their album. Eventually, the band decided to release it on Planet Noise Records, a small indie label, and thenceforth managed themselves independently, until their 2005 signing with Metal Blade, on whose label they re-released Wake Pig in late 2005. Their career has been marked by several line-up changes, most notably Josh Eppard’s departure to join Coheed and Cambria (which he’s no longer a member of), who are now regular touring partners. The band have toured nationally several times, as well as appearing on radio stations throughout the United States. Joey Eppard also has an active solo career, and released a solo album, Been to the Future, in 2002.
When questioned about the band’s name in an interview with Rock Something, Joey Eppard stated that they considered changing the name of the band several times, but always decided to keep the name 3. According to the same interview, the name of the band originally stems from Joey Eppard’s own “fascination” with the number: “It is a reference to the construct of our reality as having predominantly 3 aspects.

MOCK MOCK MOCK Btw do you really think he's RP-ing? Most of the guys that look like that seem really into it. Makes me laugh though. Seeing grown-up men fooling around in costumes and make up, pretending to worship Say-Ten always manages to make my day.

Yeah, the new songs were lighter sounding than most of "The End has Begun." Sounded a bit more like old school 3. I can't wait for the new album, I wanna know about when its coming out.
