Briefly How it Began... In the summer of 95, our original band Monument, a staple of the Buffalo hard rock scene in the late 80's and early 90's, came to a not so surprising halt when our lead singer and rhythm guitarist decided to move on, and away. We were left with the decision to carry on or let it fade away... Not ready to call it a night, we decided to carry on as a power trio, simply dubbed Three Man, also a well known drinking game.

We were left with the decision to carry on or let it fade away...
Not ready to call it a night, we decided to carry on as a power trio, simply dubbed Three Man, also a well known drinking game.
After a couple of years, our original bassist Nick Gonzales, decided to leave the group. Undeterred, we carried on playing musical chairs with several different bass players until acquiring John Stojanovich in April of 2002.
What We've Done...
We have played countless shows in just about every well-known club in Western New York that would have us, and played at festivals such as the Artvoice Street Fest. We have also played in Hollywood, CA in July 2005. In August of 2005, we were voted as one of the top five bands in Buffalo, and performed at the America's Fair Grandstands for 103.3 The Edge's Next Wave, Battle of the Bands. Way back in October of 97, we won Buffalo's Battle of the Bands. We have released eight demos as well as our full length CD released in August of 2004, and have been included on two compilation CD's released by Watchmen Records. In December 2000, our song "Undone" reached #2 in the Final Countdown on Garageband.com. Our song "Unlike You" was also included on Garageband.com's "Evolved" compilation CD, released worldwide in October 2002 on Garageband Records. In March of 2006, Three Man's song, "Undone", was included on the Oasis Alternative Vol. VI Compilation CD. Three Man can also be found on online music sites such as Garageband.com, Purevolume.com, MySpace.com, RocketRadio.com, and IUMA.com. Three Man also continue to get radio play on stations in Buffalo such as WEDG 103.3 The Edge, WGRF 97 Rock, and 91.3 WBNY. High-energy live performances and strong songwriting have gained us a loyal fan base which grows after each show. We will always continue to experiment and grow in our songwriting to help establish ourselves at the forefront of the ever-changing music scene.
