OCTOBER  means new beginnings in a sense, especially for me.
New songs are coming, we have a new TV show airing in October, with a preview of things to come and the next show is going to be  ALL NEW SONGS and I'm very exited about it!  
                         Until we meet again, SHINE ON, and *P*E*A*C*E,

     We just played a show in Pasadena last night that was a real blast. For the first time, I played through my Ampeg for an all electric show and Basil sounded great!  The Ampeg has the coolest distortion when it is cranked up that no pedal can give. 
     So, I'm kind of perplexed lately about the insane actions of our country.  Are things WAY OUT of hand or WHAT!!!!!!  And, who to vote for? I am feeling kind of embarrassed to be among the red, white, and blue.  War is still going on and WE just don't seem to get the information.  People are dying, and OUR  COUNTRY seems to be the world terrorist!!!            REALLY, it is crazy.             I feel so sad...
     Have you seen Moore's "Farenheit 911"movie?  What did you think about it?  If you get a chance, have a peek at the movie "911 In Plane Sight".  Things may not be the way they seem.

The Prospector!
     WOW   Mark and I rocked the place with a special  SHADOW DANCER  grooving right in! 
Who was she? only a few people got a candid glimpse... I'll just say that she had it all, and it was an extra special 3SUM!
     Special hello to Nancy for the Bloody Marys ---girl, you ROCK!  [[What a way to start my Spring Break! ]]
     And, you just may catch us in the act recording in Long Beach...not for "3sum -The Show", but for our next album, photos coming soon of us on location in our alternative remote studios!  WHAT? 
More later, love 'til then

     It's 2004, and what's going on with us?  Kind of a seasonal hibernation...
A new recording project is in the early stages.  S&M is still intrigued by experiencing Sedona Arizona just a few days ago, and I am mulling over feelings of that journey for some song ideas.  Mark is finishing up "The Fellowship of the Ring."  Damien is stoked about "The Di Vinci Code."  And me...I'm finishing up my ethnomusicological pursuits in Los Angeles.  We will keep you posted about upcoming shows.  Check out our "In The Act" page for updates.

Hey people, a quick word,     9-21-03
     Thanks to all the people that supported us for our tour.  Not only was it a great time but I also learned a lot and met some cool people along the way.  I will be putting together video footage from the tour and will inform you of it’s airing (via this website) on Long Beach Charter TV “3sum-The Show” and on a TV special documentary, “3sum ON TOUR”. 
     We are writing new songs and are in pre–production for the next CD.
Does everybody  know that 3sum is available for parties?

About the opening song on the CD perverted pictures
One Foot Outside
This song was inspired by one of the greatest underground songwriters in Long Beach, Bob Holtzinger.  We share uncanny, shady experiences with the opposite sex, and have previously been addicted to addicts, and other chaos. It is a tale of being on the verge of moving on and moving out, yet still having insatiable appetite for the drama.  And, musically the song is a great example of 3sum's collaboration and the interplay between us 3.  It is always a great song to begin our shows...to have collective energy from the start!.    -Sharon
