There Is More Than One Artist With This Name 1 3 Is An American 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 Who Are Now Regular Touring Partners. Chris Gartmann Joined The Band In 1999 To Replace Josh On Drums Along With Billy Riker On Guitars Who Has Remained With The Band Since.

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. For Example We Live In A 3 Dimensional Universe On The 3rd Planet From The Sun Experiencing Time As Past Present And Future In A Form That Consists Of Mind Body And Spirit." The Band Themselves Describe Their Music As "dark Yet Uplifting Spiritual Without Any Connection To Religion". Their Music Is Punctuated By Dark Sometimes Incomprehensible Lyrics Often Rather Detached From The Accompanying Music. Joey Eppard Is Considered A Highly Competent Guitarist With An Unusual Flamenco/slap Hybrid Guitar Technique. The Band Toured With The British Progressive Rock Group Porcupine Tree On The "Fear Of A Blank Planet" Tour. Due To The Influence Of This Tour ITunes Music Store Notes That People Who Buy The New Porcupine Tree Album Fear Of A Blank Planet Have Also Bought Wake Pig. Since Finishing The Tour The Band Have Stated They Are Working On Two New Albums One Featuring All New Material And Other Consisting Of Older Unreleased Material. 2 THREE Or 3 Was A Post-Hardcore Band That Hailed From Washington D.C..
