Welcome to the first installment of our weekly recording blog. Check in each week for updates on how things be going, stories from the studio, anecdotes on life, fortune-cookie-esque words of wisdom, etc.

With all the recording gear finally home after its maintenance trip to New Zealand, this week sees us put the final touches on the studio. This means mostly moving bookshelves around and eating pie. Why? Cause really, what is better before, after, and during moving a bookshelf than some pie? Hopefully this process won’t take too long, or the album recording will be delayed while we all attend fat camp. That said, we will be accepting pie donations. Please email thethreeskc@gmail.com if you should wish to help the cause. Assuming the recent virus of doom that has recently made it through our ranks decides to move on to another band, we should be good to start full bore Eskimo seal thumb wrestling by next week.

What? No, no, full on album 2 recording next week. Whew, got carried away. Seals don’t have thumbs …

This week’s words of wisdom: The world may be your oyster, but it doesn’t mean you’ll get its pearl.

Well, hello. We’re back home and happy after a couple good trips in the month February. Little slices of Lincoln, Omaha, Warrensburg, and St Louis (and especially the world’s biggest AMOCO sign, renamed affectionately by us as “AM-O-COTRON”) got “Threesed”. They have since been cleaned and sanitized, but the memories will never wash clean. Oh no, never…

We are super-duper-blooey-grouper excited to announce that the time has finally come. For the past many months, we’ve been diligently working away on a new batch of songs that are to become (duh-duh-duh!) THE SECOND ALBUM!!! This week finally sees us ready to start the recording process. Stay tuned right here for constant and hopefully weekly recording updates. They’ll be savory and sweet, like walnuts at the marshmallow facory. Stay tuned and check back often. Rock on.

The time has finally come for the time to be here! We here at 3s Inc have added a new page to the website. It’s over there to the right. Past the tiger. The one in blue. The one in blue that says “Get Naked w/ The Threes!!!” Click on it. After reading this.

What will happen? Well, there are only a few people on this planet that can tell you the answer to that question. Fortunately, Jaleel White of Family Matters fame is one of those people. In a recent blog on his website he states, “Aw, yeah bitches. Go to this website, www.the-threes.com, and click on the “Get Naked w/ The Threes!!!” link on the sidebar. It’ll take you to free downloadable clips from one god damn funny radio show of the same name. They talk about all kind of crazy whack shit that cracks my ass up. I’ve never been to New Jersey!”

So there you go. Thank god he was there to help.

Editor’s note: Please do not contact Jaleel White or go to his website. Seriously. That would be stupid. And dangerous.

Oh yes. Huge thanks to Ms Louie for the pics of us at our recent performance @ Davey’s Uptown. Cruise on over to the gallery to check em out. Take them and make a funny picture. Send it to us. We’ll post it. Make sure to sign the petition to find a way to get pictures of drummers. Always hiding in the back, silly drummers…

and this —————————–>
picture may not be of us, but god damn if that is not a fine shark fin. Not sure who Denise Robbins is, but she’d better watch out.

Structural glass curtain walls, such as the Steven Holl-designed addition to the Nelson-Atkins (Bloch building, pictured right), can be both beautiful and functional. Or, in some cases, they may look like creepy glow-in-the-dark sheet metal sheds. Either way, sometimes you just want to break them; but you can’t! That would be illegal, and besides, you’d probably just cut yourself.

Fortunately, you don’t have to, because The Threes have done the work for you! The next Live in New York track (available, as always, on the music page) is called Break the Glass Wall. Go download it, and let The Threes cut their way into your soul with razor sharp little shards of music.

Of course, by nothing we really mean something. What, exactly? A new live track, you doofus. Nothing is the second in an ongoing series of Live in New York tracks, and it really is something. What it is, is a delightful little pop number destined to be a chart-topping hit from our upcoming album.

You might ask which chart, and if you did we would admit that it is the chart our moms have magnetically suspended from their refrigerators. Our moms love this shit. So you should visit the music page and download it. Your mom would.

The first live track from our August tour is now available on the music page as an mp3 download, or if you prefer you can stream it through your interwebnet browserfier while you dance around the living room playing air guitar in your underpants. The track in question is called Mr. Riot vs the Id and is in contention to appear on our forthcoming album which will most assuredly not be called A Valtrex Christmas: The Songs of Bubbles the Herpopotamus.

More tracks will be coming sooner or later. The speed with which we are motivated to make additional live tracks available will be directly proportionate to the number of fawning compliments we receive, so get out your thesaurus. This track is definitely, “phenomenal, primo, prodigious, rad, remarkable, spectacular, striking,” and, “stupendous.” Also, as a side note, the word “thesaurus” sounds like the antecedent dinosaur. He’s not just any saurus, he’s the saurus.

You should know that work is being done at this very moment at Threes Labs to get live cuts of from our August tour mastered and uploaded; specifically from our show at Arlene’s Grocery in New York since, unfortunately, that’s the only place we got a decent recording from. These exclusive tracks will be available exclusively from this exclusive web site, and if you download them you will automatically be part of an elite group of celebrities who are allowed into the fancy parties where they snort blow out of Lindsay Lohan’s ass crack.

Anyway, when the tracks are good and ready, they’ll appear on the music page, and probably someone will post about it.

As you can see, The Threes new site has launched! We’re still working on it and while we think we’ve got all the little glitches worked out, please bear with us over the next few days while we tighten down the screws. If you experience any errors, or even just have a comment about the new look, shoot us a comment on this post.
