New wave electronica act 3OH!3 is finishing up their Too Fast for Love Tour alongside Cobra Starship next month, closing out the world tour with dates at London's Kings College, Tokyo's Summersonic, and the UK's Leeds and Reading Festivals. The Colorado act has been heating up the charts as summer approaches thanks to their latest single "First Kiss" featuring Ke$ha.
Even if the catchy dance club beat doesn't top MTV's Summer Jam of 2010 poll, it clearly epitomizes summer time singles, said Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly. "That's a really summery topic," she said, referring to a summertime kiss. "Everybody has a memory of having a first kiss under a boardwalk or something."
The Colorado boys chose summer jam competitor Ke$ha for the collaboration, who is heating up the charts with her own "Your Love Is My Drug." "It's just fun," Ke$ha said to MTV News while filming the boys' new video. "The song is fun, and those guys are fun." If you want to see a great concert this summer, head to online where 3OH!3 tickets are now available.
3OH!3 caught critical and commercial attention when their hit "Don't Trust Me" hit radio stations- the clever line "Shush, girl, shut your lips/ do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips" wasn't just about a great rhyme; there's substance there, too. Though the group hailing from Boulder, Colo. chimed in to the music scene years after similar acts (think Beastie Boys or tour mates Cobra Starship), the intellectuals behind 3OH!3 reveal they've got a lot more to them than crunk-core beats.
"We're obsessed with pop culture," Nathaniel Motte said to Reuters. "The scope of pop music has changed - back in the day, pop music was the devil in the hip-hop world, and then people came around and realized it was popular for a reason."
The tech-savvy musicians who blend hip-hop and electronics kept their fans up to date with all the latest moves, including a tour blog that counted down the release of their 2010 album Streets of Gold.
The third release from the Photo Finish Records outfit was released June 29th and already had a Billboard Hot 100 - "First Kiss." It was actually their web energy that got them the attention of record label owner Matt Galle and manager Mike Kaminsky. "I was on YouTube looking for a band that had attitude," Kaminsky said to Reuters. "I watched their videos and flew to Colorado to meet with them...they are smart, laid-back guys who just explode on stage."
Along with the controversy surrounding the Helen Keller reference in "Don't Trust Me," after just a handful of festival performances and small venue concerts, 3OH!3 was headlining Vans Warped Tour and named "a band to watch" by Rolling Stone. That was all these videogame playing musicians needed to jumpstart into commercial stardom, as the group's second single "Starstukk" sold over 750,000 copies before its release (it was written for the Kristen Bell film "When in Rome"). They're hitting cities around the world "too fast" for most to handle, but if you're up for the task 3OH!3 tickets are something not to miss.
