CHECK IT:DB3 has evolved, which is to say that Mike now lives in Hawaii and Tino is pursuing higher education in classical guitar (he was always just fooling you people with his antics on the bass).
Please keep checking the website and this page for updates on all things DB3. Who knows when we'll surprise you with a rockin' show?
Dan is working on a new solo acoustic album and is also working on a new project called Cats or Cars. Keep an eye out for those albums sometime in the fall.
========================================
The tunes above (what you're listening to now) are all from the Renaissance Boy Recordings release, ...Straight On Till Morning. Hit the DB3 website to check out some more tunes from DB3.
DB3 started as an acoustic deal: Dan Beahm and the Invisible Three (which was pretty much Dan playing solo --and still is). Once Dan picked up some more band members, "the invisible three" didn't seem apropos any longer. Dan still performs solo as Dan Beahm and the Invisible Three. You can check out the MySpace page here.
Dan writes a lot of stuff. He's got an electronica thing going called Superboom. There's some hip-hop (MCDJ and Crema Smoov), 80's "butt rock" in the vein of Poison, Warrant, VanHalen, Motley Crue, etc... (Mulletforce 5), hard rock (Disciples of Gravity) and on and on. You can find most of the bands/acts at his label's site: Renaissance Boy Recordings. There's something for everyone.
Thanks for listening.
========================================
The tale goes...
There once was a boy who stood on the roof of his parents' house with a towel pinned around his neck. He had been dreaming of this moment for 4 long years, ever since he had seen the bright lights of the delivery room (he mistook them for stage lights, and had thus been tricked into existence).
When his mother came out of the house and saw him standing there, she screamed because she did not believe. But the boy knew, and when he jumped he fell for only a moment...
...and then flew away.

I went to your website--looked in your merchandise area--I think I might have to get a DB3 thong for everyone in my family!! (Although, I don't know if you have them in a size large enough to fit my father...and he prefers purple...)
It's finally here...the official CD Release for Eleventy Billion! Sharing the bill with us will be The Terrors out of Cincinnati, who sound like an amazing "something in the early Radiohead genre" and Pretty Balanced (cross between The Dresden Dolls and Tori Amos). They are both in our top 8 and you should check it all out. Hope you can make it...It'll be a great show. We have these three songs from the album up on our page:
I'm Your Voodoo
Valium Sunday
Down in the City
