3rd echo on purevolume™

Powerpop / Rock / Pop

Former schoolmates Manny Reyes and Vinny Manno formed 3rd echo in 1992 as a vehicle for their mutual admiration of rock. With the help of former bassist/keyboardist Billy Madere 3rd echo was able to record two CDs, and tour non-stop for 6 years while garnering many friends and fans both at home in New Orleans and throughout the southeast US. But then the unexpected happened, and her name was Katrina. The fallout from the storm resulted in Billy leaving the band, and 3rd echo going into indefinite hiatus. With Billy's blessings Manny and Vinny decided to press on. Enlisting ex-RockBox bass player Robert Manganello and guitarist/keyboardist Mike Massel, formerly of New Orleans funk/rock/jam band Grape Ape proved to be a magical combination. The newly re-tooled powerpop foursome are creating infectious pop/rock melodies that are the product of muscular rhythms, inventive riffs, and tasty vocal harmonies - certainly a musical blend thats ethereal, yet uncompromisingly sonic.

3rd echo, think about it. Isn't it the one you anticipate the most?

Greetings Echolites! Hoping all is well with you in your part of the world. Now for the latest development. We have been given an opportunity to be put on radio rotation, but we need your help and support to pull this off. 104.1FM The Rock of New Orleans in conjunction Clear Channel Communications will play our song "let me tell you something" if enough people visit the following link: http://www.therockofneworleans.com/cc-common/artist_submission/player.html?art=150507 This link is to a Clear Channel portal called NEW, and it features our song. "Let me tell you something" will automatically play when you visit it. For every visit to this site, Clear Channel will track the number of plays. If we achieve stratospheric numbers, we'll get on the radio and share rotations with the likes of Dave Matthews, Better than Ezra, NIN, Pearl Jam, you get the drift.

3e in the studio working on "V2.0"

Allo Echolites!! For the first time in 3e history, we've put our trust in someone else to record us. Our first two CDs were totally self recorded, engineered, produced, and mastered. For this CD, we decided to go into FUDGE recording studio in New Orleans. This studio is owned and operated by members of Better Than Ezra and Jack Miele - the mad scientist maning the controls. Besides the fact that BTE has recorded their last 3 records there FUDGE studios has also seen the likes of Blondie, Mars Volta, Ani DiFranco, Howie Day, and other industry heavies. Without a doubt this will be the best sounding 3e CD to date. We'll be posting updates, blogs, and pictures from the studio on our MySpace, Reverbnation and Purevolume pages, so don't forget to check in from time to time. Thanks for your continued and undying support! All the best & GOD bless! -3rd echo http://www.purevolume.com/3rdecho http://www.reverbnation.com/3rdecho http://www.myspace.com/3rdecho
