3 feet up is a husband and wife that decided to play music together in 2004. Chris & Victoria Hardy look at the world somewhat differently than most, and they want listeners to think for themselves instead of blindly obeying the TV and other outside influences.
Most of their songs are supportive of finding one's own personal truths, as well as celebrating differences instead of fearing them. In their new song "Iscoceles Girl", Chris sings the line, "She's an iscoceles girl in an equilateral world." Compare them to most indie bands and you'll see just how different 3 feet up is.
Chris is the guitarist/vocalist/bassist and shares the songwriting fun with wife/drummer Victoria, who actually plays her drumkit standing up.
Since their musical inception, 3 feet up has released three self-produced CDs, played the legendary Hard Rock Cafe in Boston, Massachusetts, appeared on several compilations and they were featured on the CBS Early Show in July 2006. Not to mention the 250+ live shows they've played in their first 3 years, which shows how they are very much "musical workaholics."
Their sound has been compared to REM, Dave Matthews, Sting, Elvis Costello, XTC and more...
