History

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 (of which he is no longer a member); the two bands are now regular touring partners. The band has toured nationally several times, and have appeared on radio stations throughout the United States. Joey Eppard also has an active solo career, and released a solo album, Been to the Future, in 2002. Joey Eppard is the guitarist/vocalist for the band (3). ...

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." [1]

Logarithmic 3-Band Color Encoding: ... (5108 words)
Logarithmic multiband color encoding is a pseudocolor scale in which three distinct color bands are defined to correspond to major, minor, and trace constituent levels, with a lower threshold of 0.001 used for the trace band since zero must be excluded from a logarithmic scale.
Within each band, the intensity is encoded logarithmically, and the color runs from a pure primary color at the low end through pastel colors at the high end, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Additional bands could be added if needed to extend the range of the depiction of trace constituents below 0.001 mass fraction, in which case the secondary colors of yellow, magenta, and cyan could be used with their pastels to encode additional decades of k-value or concentration.
