By jason fisher
BACK FROM JAPAN ' 3 HITS THE ROAD WITH YAKUZA! CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE BAND EXCEEDS NATIONAL BOUNDARIES!

After a successful show in Japan, 3 are back in the states to tour with Yakuza. Singer of 3, Joey states, "We're very excited to reconnect with all our friends in the Midwest and beyond. The band is all psyched up from our Japanese debut, (where we acquired some really cool samurai swords and trained to become ninjas) so basically, anything could happen at these shows."

Joey reflects on the recent trip to Japan, "This was one of the greatest experiences of our lives. The Japanese are true music lovers and fully embraced what we do. We can't wait to go back!"

How's the overall response to their latest album, Wake Pig? Joey says, "Spirits are high for us right now. Reaction to Wake Pig has been overwhelmingly positive the world over. There's nothing more inspiring than to see your art bridge oceans and connect distant cultures. What we want to do now is showcase our live performance which is something that cannot truly encapsulated on CD. To complete the picture, you've got to see us live'"
