Hailing from Woodstock, New York USA, the Alternative-Metal band 3 began as a three-piece group in the mid-'90s with Joey Eppard on vocals + guitar, Chris Bittner on bass and Josh Eppard on drums. After their appearance at the Woodstock festival in 1994, 3 came to the
attention of Universal Records but that relationship ended just before
an album was released. Following the departure of Josh Eppard, who left the group to join Coheed And Cambria and former bassist Chris Bittner, respectively replaced by drummer Chris Gartmann and Joe Cuchelo, 3 added a new guitarist, Billy Riker and in 2001 released its sophomore effort, "Half Life", a powerful record of live performances. The Woodstock-based group began touring nationally in 2003 when they hit the road with Coheed And Cambria and in October of the same year 3 unleashed their third album, " Summercamp Nightmare", their first with keyboardist + percussionist Joe Stote. The follow-up album, "Wake Pig", arrived in October 2004, this was the last album to feature Cuchelo on bass who was replaced by Daniel Grimsland in the middle of the sessions. Enter 2006, after the successful re-release of "Wake Pig" on
Metal Blade Records and the completion of their first world tour alongside
the likes of Porcupine Tree, Atreyu,
Underoath, Straylight
Run, Vendetta Red and many more,
3 returned home to begin work on a new record. Not long after Joe Stote exited the band and 3 continued on as a quartet. In October 2009 was released "Revisions", a collection that tapped the rich history of the group by re-examining some of the earlier songs. Some of them are known from early live bootlegs, others existed only on cassette. 3's forthcoming album, "The Ghost You Gave To Me", will be released on October 11, 2011, via Metal Blade.
