Im not here just to sing. Listen up! barks Kevin Weinberg as Rule of 3rds kicks into Never The Same, a booty-shakin blues rocker that crashes into the staccato backhand ending:
When the midnight crawls And hook-up calls They call you to your graves By the time you cross your paths with me Have something nice to say Because you never know what I could do for you You'd never be the same
As the crowd starts to move, they only begin to sense what they are in for. Adept at all dynamics, the Rule of 3rds set starts big and ends huge, with a wide gamut of moods throughout, from the rolling, angular feel of Changes, the massive thump of Sometimes, and the straightforward sing-along pop hit of Angel. Rule of 3rds combines deep musical experience and tasty grooves into impeccable and sticky songs.
Rule of 3rds (originally known as Made), hails from San Diego, California, where they have developed a strong following over their two years. Whats really cool about our buzz is that its been 100% audience-driven, says bass player Keith Langill. Weve done almost no direct promotion of ourselves, only the shows. Everything has happened on the strength of the songs and the loyalty of our fans. This includes being selected as a finalist in San Diego radio station Rock 105.3s Band Aid contest, resulting in gigs in some of the finest venues supporting local music in SD. But thats all going to change, now that the EP is almost done. Were ready to do the work.
Rule of 3rds has spent the last six months working on their self-produced EP Changing Perspectives. This was a lot of hard work, but were really proud of these songs, says Kevin. Theres nothing trivial about any of them. Each one is crafted exactly as we wanted them. And its been totally worth itit really makes it easy for me to present these songs live, because Im so committed to them.
Rounding out with Ed Stocke on guitar and Matthew Stewart on drums, bearing a brilliant new disc, and the love of their fans and their sponsors (Cerveza Mexicali and Long Hard Ride Clothing), Rule of 3rds aims to change your perspectiveon rock and roll, on yourself, on the world.
