3Ds

The 3Ds were an alternative pop/rock band from Dunedin, New Zealand, together from 1988 to 1997. The band was made up of:

* Dominic Stones — drums, tea
* Denise Roughan — bass, keyboards, tambourine, vocals
* David Saunders — guitar, vocals
* David Mitchell — guitar, mandolin, vocals

All had been in other New Zealand bands, Stones was in Snapper and Roughan had been in Look Blue Go Purple.

The band drifted apart after releasing their final album, Strange News from the Angels in 1997. Mitchell and Roughan soon moved to London, where they went on to form the Ghost Club.

Just a footnote to add here about the band's live performances. The records were great, but it was live where these guys really cut it. They were sensational on stage as anyone lucky enough to have witnessed one of their high energy gigs will surely testify. The 3D's should have been massive, but hailing from a small city in a small country at the bottom of the world doesn't bode well for international fame. enjoy what you hear.
