   About 3rd Gear
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Disbanded in 2007, Third Gear rose from the ashes of Deadly, with guitarist Dale Birnie and drummer Chad MacDonald reuniting with Russ Wilson, a former bandmate and lifelong friend who had been busy honing his bass style in Alberta for several years. Once they started jamming together again, the groove came rushing back, and all three knew that this was meant to be! As a power trio, 3rd Gear write and perform innovative, interesting rock songs built to bring the world to it's knees! With politically charged lyrics, thick muscular grooves, and a tight unmistakable sound, 3rd Gear set out to change the rock world as we know it! We keep this page as a reminder of the great times, great shows and great friends we had while we brought our music to the masses! Thanks to all who supported us.

LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.

CIRO is hosting '7 Blocks of Busking' July 5 in Kelowna. It will be an out door festival right downtown. Basically a big open mike night / fringe fest and good time. If you know anyone that might want to come out visit our Myspace or Facebook group for details. Kelly and Connor from the Cakewalk group are in the know too.

Its a true busking event and we are also raising money for the community radio station. Should be fun. All the best.

Howdy friends,

I really hate when band just use the comments section for shameless self promotion, but words must be used to network so this is a personal invitation for a show we have this friday. If your not doing anything we're playing at the grateful fed come down and check us out with the science fiction addiction and Jeremy Head.
it should be good fun for all,

Thanx.
