About Me

Idiot3 - Stereo (live)

Idiot3 - Hit the studio

Based in Southampton UK, IDIOT3 are already proving that you just can't beat a shed load of great melodies, tight harmonies and a full on, engaging live performance.

Having played in bands together since school, Ian, Tim and Jon had already released albums, toured the UK and played high profile support slots (The Wildhearts, Dogs D'Amour, The Quireboys) before forming IDIOT3 in May 2006

That same month IDIOT3 toured Holland and showcased their brand of infectious rock. The gigs were a huge success and included a show stealing performance at the large Pieremachochelrock festival.

Having recorded several demos, IDIOT3 entered the studio with Roger Tebutt (Ginger, Rachel Stamp, Gay Dad) in early September 2006 to record their first CD. ‘Reasons / Alive In Blue’ has had a fantastic fan and critical response, with Idiot3 picking up excellent reviews.

Eager to keep the material flowing, Idiot3 are recording high quality demos of their entire set, showcasing brilliantly strong material and songwriting.

In August ’07 Idiot3 were chosen to perform at The ‘BT Total Broadband Search For Unsigned Talent Event’ in London, supporting Mutya from Sugarbabes! A strange combination perhaps, but Idiot3’s music blends Rock and Pop in a dazzling fashion.

Soon to be touring the UK, Idiot3 are working hard towards an exciting future.
