Marvelous 3

Marvelous 3 was an Atlanta-based rock band.

History

Marvelous 3 was formed by lead singer/guitarist Butch Walker, bass guitarist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Doug Mitchell (a.k.a. Mitch "Slug" McLee.) All three band members had played together previously in glam outfit SouthGang, Floyds Funk Revival and The Floyds, before reemerging as Marvelous 3 in 1997 when they released their first album, Math and Other Problems.

The band's most successful album - Hey! Album - was released in fall 1998 with the lead single "Freak of the Week" reaching No. 5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 23 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The band toured with bands such as Collective Soul, SR-71, Dynamite Hack and Train and appeared on the WB television show Charmed.

The band acrimoniously separated from label Elektra Records in spring 2001, as Walker documented on the band's official website in April 2001:

Following a final tour, in which the band headlined the Atlanta Music Midtown festival in May 2001, they ended with a final farewell show at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park in August 2001.
