3 Inch Giants formed after close friends Tim Bowen and Josh Travis both noticed that thier two fav bands, They Might Be Giants and Ween, were just two dudes with funny ideas and programmed beats.
Josh and Tim noticed that they were two guys, and that thier ideas were funny. Thankfully Josh had the correct machines and knew how to program beats.
So far, they have released two full albums, and a couple EP's. The band formed at the same time as OUR Records formed, and thier first EP, GIMME FIVE!!!, was the first release for OUR Records. Next came America's Challenge, thier first full alubm, also released on OUR Records.
After that, they started doing live shows in and around Jonesboro, AR. One of thier earliest shows, and one of the better nights at the ill-fated Jonesboogie HQ, was recorded and released by the Bulgarian label ODP. This album was called A Live Western Drama.
Thier confidence grew, as well as songwriting ability, and they released the single for Hi From Babylon in the spring of 2006. After being interviewd on OUT OF TIME RADIO in Hot Springs, AR, the band met up with Sean Cook, AKA Mi5tergone, who created the video for the song.
You can download a high quality version of that video here, and a lo-fi version will be at oh my Eris! (dot com)
Recently, they finished thier newest full album, Sheep's Clothing, and have it up for sale on cafepress.com. Honestly, you can't expect a couple of loosers in the south to keep giving away thier music for free forever, now can you?
Of course, that doesn't mean that they won't ever put out free material again.
I mean, they still are OUR Flagship Band!!!
