New York's 3 To Be Joined By COHEED & CAMBRIA Drummer For Japanese Festival Appearance

January 16, 2006

Woodstock, NY-based post-metal band 3 will be joined by COHEED & CAMBRIA drummer Josh Eppard for their appearance at the the Independence-D Festival in Tokyo, Japan because the group's regular skinsman, Chris Gartmann, is unable to make the trip (reportedly "because of an unavoidable family commitment").

The Independence-D Festival is scheduled to take place March 3-5 at Studio Coast in Tokyo, Japan. More information is available at this location.

Commented 3 frontman Joey Eppard: "The opportunity to perform in Japan is one of the greatest honors of our career. Words can't express… So we'll let the music do the talking."

3 will be kicking off a U.S. tour in late January. The band will be touring in support of their "Wake Pig" album, which was reissued by Metal Blade Records after it was originally released by Planet Noise Records in 2004.
