Three: 2014 Singles on the 3rd of each month ("It's Alive (live)" 7/3/14)

8/3/14 5:27PM

"Woodchuck Truck"..this is odd to say the least, but at least it's pretty different than any of these others.



7/3/14 10:50PM

"It's Alive" live. Pretty impassioned and emotional sounding version.

So back in 1963 as The Beatles went to record "Twist and Shout", one of their most famous songs...John Lennon had a cold that day, but they recorded all day anyway but saved that song til the end of the session so he could really blow out his voice! That's kinda what happened for us at this show, Joey's voice sounds good and raw. And since we always get requests to play this one live, here it is!

lyrics

Painted away the sun
For the picture I’d become
Color the sound of thunder in the distance
A lonely sky

Ghosts were giving chase
And the brush revealed your face
And then I mixed the pigments up
With venom and I’m a lonely god
Who can’t explain
Colliding characters
But from a bird’s eye point of view
Well, all the world is
Green and gold and grey to blue

Brightness falling from the ashes crawling
It’s alive… It’s alive… It’s alive…
Oh, it’s alive…

Painted a rising sun
And the clouds did come undone
Artificial thunder (artificial thunder) in the distance
The sirens cry

Here to take my place
With a mirror for a face
Last leg of the feedback loop
For devils and gods to even odds
And break away

Brightness falling from the ashes crawling
It’s alive… It’s alive… It’s alive…
Oh, it’s alive…

Here we go ’round the bend
Through the orbit once again
From a fate that we cannot defend

This little boy
Renews the promise of a man
For the future is ours to command

I’m dreaming on borrowed time
And I don’t want to wake
Can’t tell if I’m falling or I’m flying
Another leap of faith

Say goodbye and the sun goes down
Watch you turn the bend
But I remember the world is round
You’ll be back again

I stoke the fire in a statue’s heart
Nobody notices
The eyes of a ghost
In a haunted work of art
Watch it come alive

Oh It’s alive… It’s alive… Oh it’s alive…

"One Way Town" live. One of my favorites and one of their catchiest tracks.



4/24/14 9:17PM- 5/3/14 2:14PM

"You Are the Alien" coming 5/3/14 3PM EST

digging it. Not as riffy as Sugarlife, but still enjoying things like the vocal harmonies and lyrcs. The outro is short but nice.

good tune, not incredibly different for Three, but it's catchy and energetic. I am curious if any of these singles will feature any string arrangements as in chatting with Joey last year and in the past, he loves the string arrangements from Kiss Kiss (and Vuvuzela), and he mentioned how he'd like to work with Josh Benash from those bands at some point.

But that being said, this is a nice new track that should tide us fans over until May 3rd.

NEW  SINGLE SUGARLIFE COMING 4/3/14!

A BRAND NEW SINGLE ON THE 3RD OF EVERY MONTH!

There's even a Facebook event setup for this. But as that says, April 3rd "Sugarlife" drops and every month, at least the goal is to release a new song, on the 3rd day of said month.

Rather unique way to go about releasing new music, a little like Imogen Heap has done over the last 3 or 4 years.

This should be pretty sweet.

Also it might be worth adding, they added a cool new t-shirt to their online store
Here
which probably will help produce the release of their next record, and even the cost of even recording and mixing/mastering these new singles, which I'd imagine will be released digitally at 1st.

Three - The Ghost You Gave to Me (2011) (1.0)

Update with the track list:

Hey all,

We have finally done it... we made THE album we've been working towards for our entire career. Yes, it did take some time, but works of this magnitude often do. "The Ghost You Gave To Me" is our most epic recording yet. It is a perfect blend of our unique brand of musicality, potent melody and lyrical innovation. We have pushed our own envelope beyond formulaic composition and into a realm where songs have a life of their own... Unpredictable twists and turns, striking imagery and passionate precision combine to make each song a journey in and of itself. This record is alive....
We'll keep you posted as far as the release date, it will be some time this fall. For now, here is the track list....

Sirenum Scopuli
React
Sparrow
High Times
Numbers
One With The Sun
The Ghost You Gave to Me
Pretty
Afterglow
Its Alive
Only Child
The Barrier

from the latest Joey Eppard/3 Newsletter (4/5/11)

The mixes are finished, song order established... Still working on the artwork and such but at this point we are looking at a September release... We're really psyched with the record! Album title came down to "React" or "The Ghost you Gave to Me"... after a little research we're going with the latter. As THE most difficult band to search out on the internet we decided that we're better off with an Album title that will actually come up in the search engines!

sounds good. September and the 4th Quarter is looking to be, as it often is, rather busy and deep. Artwork, track list, yep..in the coming weeks/months.

From Three's latest newsletter.

Hey All...

Good News!!!! Four songs are officially mixed for the new "3" record. Everything sounds great and its a pleasure to reunite with Mike Birnbaum and Chris Bittner of Applehead Studio's . This is the team that recorded and produced our first record "Paint By Number" back in 1998 and also produced and recorded Coheed & Cambria's first three albums. We'll be back at it next week to hopefully knock out a couple more mixes. Then its time to finish up the remaining tunes and mix them in march. Good things do take time, and we believe this record will be more than worth the wait...

Meanwhile we'll be making our return to the Bearsville Theater on February 25th. Expect some more sneak peeks at whats to come from the new album... Spread the word!


Also this Saturday will be a musical double feature in Woodstock; at 7:30 a solo set by Joey Eppard at the Varga Gallery followed by a performance of E-G-O at Harmony Cafe starting at 9:30pm.

Sounds like good progress is being made. When it gets done and is released? My guess would be July/August-ish depending how much promotion and other stuff is required. Interesting how they are working with the guy who they worked with on Paint By Number and who worked with Coheed on their 1st 3 records.

Also not to forget, this album, really goes back a few years given the target in 2009 was to release Revisions and not one but possibly 2 other records that year alone. But everything that went down with being dropped by Roadrunner Records, and then being re-signed by Metal Blade Records obviously impacted those not coming out in '09 or even last year I suppose.

Also, I'd love to see them live again supporting it. Hopefully in Minnesota again.

Here's a sample from "Sparrow"
