Sean Foreman of 3OH!3

The Boulder, Colorado-based duo ′s debut ‘Want’ has been officially certified Gold by the RIAA. ‘Want’ features the hit single ‘Don’t Trust Me’, which reached #1 at Pop radio while also achieving double platinum certification from the RIAA. ‘Don’t Trust Me’ was followed by a second major hit in ‘Starstrukk’, featuring Katy Perry, which was also certified RIAA platinum, pushing ‘Want’ to over 6 million singles sold.

“Thanks to everyone who has listened to our music, bought our records and come to our shows. We have so much fun doing what we do, and we hope to continue to do that for a good time, yet. Who knew getting dumped in 2008 could be such a goddamn kick-start!” exclaimed Nathaniel Motte, one half of the electro pop duo.

Sean Foreman echoed Nathaniel’s sentiments stating, “I was happy when our album went Copper, but all the way to Gold! I am so thankful for the fans of our music and team that helps us get that music out. We are working on our new album and can’t wait to play all these funky new jams for everyone. We have some of the hardest beats we’ve ever worked with (Thanks to Nat). We aren’t afraid to get a little weird on this record. I’m super excited!”

3OH!3 is currently at work in their Colorado studio, writing material for their third release expected to arrive later this year. The group recently put out a series of previously unreleased songs including the track ‘Set You Free’, which is now available on iTunes and can also be streamed via YouTube below.

Paramore’s Merch Price Matching Has 3OH!3 Steamed

checked in with fans on their official web site blog on Saturday (December 4), upset about what went down at the 107.9 The End Jingle Ball in Sacramento where the band was on a line-up that included B.O.B., Jesse McCartney and Paramore. While not naming the act that instituted the “price matching” policy on merchandise, the headliner at ARCO Arena was Paramore. write:

Recently, we have come up against touring policies that we think are unfair, both to bands, and, more importantly, to fans. Last night we were forced to do something called “price matching” at a concert in Sacramento. The practice of “price matching” is unfortunately a fairly common one, and it is fundamentally flawed, in my opinion. What it entails is the standardizing of merchandise prices by a “headlining” band – that is to say that the main act of the night will dictate a price at which the other bands may sell their merchandise. The thinking is that the main acts do not want to be “undercut” by opening bands that may be selling their merchandise at a lower price, and thus offer a more attractive deal to fans. Last night, we were forced to sell our t-shirts for $30, a price that we think was too high based on the ticket prices of the show, and unfair to fans.

In our touring career, we have never asked opening bands to “price match” their merchandise to ours. In our thinking, bands should sell their merchandise at whatever price they wish, and fans should be able to buy that merchandise accordingly. It is unfair to smaller bands to be expected to sell their t-shirts and other goods at the same price of larger bands, especially on our tours, when opening bands have depended fairly heavily on selling merchandise for their total income.

3OH!3 Were Concerned About Sophomore Slump

Nat Motte of 3OH!3

Nat Motte of checked in with fans on the duo’s official web site on Tuesday (June 29), which happened to be the release date for the Boulder, Colorado pair’s third album ‘Streets of Gold’. Talking about the release and thanking fans “who allow us to do what we love for a living.” Nat writes:

I guess I just wanted to write a little thank you of sorts for the release of ‘Streets of Gold’. It has been a really wonderful and rewarding 6 months leading up to today, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to put out new music. I think ‘Streets of Gold’ started a long time ago, but concretely, Sean and I went up to a big house in Breckenridge, Colorado in the middle of January this year. We wrote about 18 songs up there in the freezing cold (some from scratch, and some over beats that I had programmed over the previous months, or even years). It was challenging, to be certain, but the most challenging part for me was the lead up to the writing process. We were concerned that, since our lives have changed rather dramatically, and we are now pretty constantly moving and traveling, it might be hard to draw from some so-called “real world experiences” and write songs that are true and have something to say. Additionally, we didn’t want to succumb to any sort of second album slump. It is important (as I think it must be to every artist, no matter what they say) to please our fans, and our friends, and make music that they like.
