3 Peace with original drummer Justin Benson

July 31 ... The Crooked Ferret gig makes the grade. Replacement drummer Justin Benson filled in for Doug Friday night at the Crooked Ferret and did a good job holding the tunes together. The crowd was not in it's usual state and that can be said for 3 Peace as well. The lack of rehearsal between the members of the band and Justin, did show through - but overall the night was fun. Thanks go out to Justin and girlfriend Kathy for helping out some old friends!!

You have to see the guys at the Clubhouse, great gig!! The next update for the website may be next Wednesday night - due to moving. Be patient for the new pics!

August 28 ... The Clear Lake Clubhouse gig was pretty cool. Although there was a little mix-up in the booking. The was a kareoke lady there and she played till 11 PM, 3 Peace started after that - of course they were already drunk by the time they came on!! (Editor note: 3 Peace does not condone, nor glamorizes the consumption of alcohol in public places with under-aged women)

August 29 ... The show at Pandora's Box was absolutely amazing!!! The guys performed all the new tunes rehearsed earlier in the week. The hometown crowd was huge, and having a great time!! Average Joe (local up and coming band) was on hand and performed during one of 3 Peace's breaks. In other news, FenixTX, friends of PARN, were signed recently to MCA Records!! You may have seen the guys on the Van's Warped Tour. FenixTX (formerly known as RiverFenix) has a new website at www.fenixtx.com. Check it out!!!

ANTONIO "TONY" SALAZAR 1959-1999

October 15 ... 3 Peace announces new upcoming shows!! The band has confirmed that they will be playing a benefit Halloween show at Yaga's in Galveston on Thursday October 28th!! The show will benefit the Leukemia Society. The guys are requesting your presence for this special cause. It looks to be like a real fun time - There will be a costume contest, and other door prizes will be given out!! Call Yaga's in Galveston for further details!! See Schedule page!!

October 23 ... The guys tore through another show at the Crooked Ferret last night. It was an outstanding standing room only crowd!! Every time they play there it always turns into a party. "Thanks to Mike and friends for the pizza", said Parn. The Thirsty Turtle awaits the guys tonight.

October 24 ... The Thirsty Turtle almost turned into a disaster. Parn's guitar pedal was on the blink. It was a full moon and the club was about an hour and a half drive for the guys. It was a treat to see Travis and Tammy with Sean and Deborah there. They really made the night fun for the band in what turned out to be a downer of a show. Thanks to Bobbi and Ric for allowing Dave, Annette and Shawn to stay over.

October 27 ... The guys prepare for tomorrow nights fun at Yaga's in Galveston. The band decided not to dress up - (Due to having minimal time between their day job and the actual gig) Doug is currently battling with the flu. Tomorrow night should be a lot of fun for everyone - and again it's for a great cause! So come on out and make a $5.00 donation at the door and drink free beer with the donation!!

On a nother note - 3 Peace will be playing, what some are saying their last gig, at Bob's Icehouse on Friday the 29th.

Also - what's it going to take to get you guys sign our damn guestbook?????

October 30 ... Last night at Bob's Icehouse may have been the last time 3 Peace performs there. Something about having to do with the band playing across town at Pandora's Box. Hmmmmmmm???? Oh well, their loss.

December 19 ... 3 Peace performs at a Benefit Show at Pandora's Box in Texas City. The benefit was for the family of Coy Esslinger. Coy, 10, recently passed away. Kerry Murphy of the band Magazine had a lot to do with putting on the benefit. He contacted 3 Peace, along with Treble Hook and Average Joe to invite them to join them to play for the special event. All the bands graciously donated their talent for the show. Donations can be made to Mainland Bank in Texas City in Coy Esslinger's name.
