Marvelous 3 Touches Base With 80s Roots
From MTV Online
Date: 8/2/00

The Atlanta-based Marvelous 3 will return to record stores next
month with the release of its third album, "ReadySexGo," and the
group has just issued a new track titled "Sugarbuzz" as the first
single from the LP.

Last year, Marvelous 3 scored a huge radio hit with its '80s New Wave-
influenced "Freak Of The Week." Around that time, band frontman Butch
Walker told MTV Radio that the band is all about getting in touch
with its rock roots from that era.

"It's kind of great to be brought back to that [sound]," Walker
explained, "and our younger fans who missed that and didn't grow up
in the '80s, they like it, too, 'cause it's fresh and new to them.

"I think it's kinda cool to have that balance, to be able to pull out
a few references and hooks that are reminiscent, but also kind of out
[there] in a modern-day context, and that's a good combination."

"ReadySexGo" features guest appearances from Lit's Jeremy Popoff,
Buckcherry's Yogi, Roger Manning Jr. (Imperial Drag, Jellyfish). To
preview the new album, Marvelous 3 has placed sound clips of all the
songs from the record up on its official Web site at
www.themarvelous3.com.

Marvelous 3 is set to play a hometown record-release party on
September 8 at The Roxy in Atlanta.
