Group Members: Joey Eppard
All Music Guide:
Led by the vocals and guitar of Joey Eppard, 3 also included Chris Gartmann (drums), Billy Riker (guitar), and Joe Cuchelo (bass). The band emerged from Woodstock, NY, in the early '90s, just in time to grab a spot at the reconstituted Woodstock music festival of 1994. That exposure led to some interest from Universal but it never panned out, so the band signed instead with local indie Planet Noise. Paint by Number dropped in 2000 and displayed a fluid mix of alt-rock stylings with funk and emo textures. Half Life followed two years later, again on Planet Noise; it was a collection of live recordings accentuated with in-studio tweaking. 3 continued to tour throughout the Northeast in support of its releases; Eppard also appeared as a solo act. 2005's Wake Pig, which was initially released on Planet Noise, marked the band's first release for Metal Blade and ignited their first world tour. In 2007, 3 (vocalist and guitarist Eppard, guitarist Riker, drummer Gartmann, keyboardist and percussionist Joe Stote, and bassist Daniel Grimsland) worked with Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello) to record their 2007 release, The End Is Begun.

Year (III) was a common year starting on Monday or Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar (the sources differ, see leap year error for further information) and a common year starting on Monday of the Proleptic Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Lamia and Servilius (or, less frequently, year 756 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 3 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
