"To compare 3rd Left to (*insert band name here*) would be a cop out.
Equal parts rock, jam & funk, they've simply got too much going on to
put into words. Listen to them. You will move."

Clip from upcoming DVD "3rd Left Live at Memorial Hall"
Live @ the Underground Bluz in Orlando, Florida 2/20/07
3L Live @ Oliver's (Cask'n Flagon) Boston, MA 2/8/08
3rd Left is a very hard band to describe. It's a sort of Jazzy, Reggae/Funk, with rock overtones and melodic harmonies. Their songs change form and turn into new songs every show. You can call them a jam band if you want but that's letting yourself off easy. Every song different from the next. You'll have and epic 7 min. song in your face and then you'll get hit with a 3 min. beauty. It's like being at a concert and Al Green opened for Rage Against the Machine! Sounds ridiculous but they make it work. Zak Fey holds down the drums with an intensity you must witness to understand. He's two drummers in one. He's got the down beat, along with the aux. percussion that he throws in effortlessly. Bryan Pierce and Brian Hitchings hold down the grooves and the melody with an intent to please the ear. The vocals are what make the songs into something special. The harmonies that Zak and Hitch put together get a crowd singing along to every word. It's the melodies and hooks that set this band apart from the rest. The jamming is incredible, and they are all amazing as individual players, but its the blend of music they put together that puts them on a whole other level. Crowds of fans, friends and family come to shows and get what they want and more every time. Recently they've been jamming with jazz trumpet extraordinaire, John Souza, who has quickly become one of the show stoppers during the jams. Make sure you check out a 3rd Left show near you, it's just something you don't want to miss!!
