3 feet up is a 2 piece band (a married couple!) from NC that pushes the boundaries of rock & pop by exploring unexpected & fresh perspectives. They also use odd instrumentation in their live shows - piccolo bass guitar & drums, sometimes just bass guitar & drums and of course electric guitar & drums.

Why this name?
that's where heaven is. so we've heard.
Do you play live?
used to play all over Portland, Maine. Now we live near Greensboro, NC and we play all over NC & SC & VA now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it helps us little folks get our music around the world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
nope. it's really just a glorified loan, isn't it? i'd rather not sign away my freedom to become just another product for some suits to sell.
Band History:
Chris & Victoria Hardy are 3 feet up. They also happen to be husband and wife. They live just outside of Greensboro, North Carolina and have played music together since June of 2004.
Chris writes most of the songs, plays the stringed instruments (piccolo bass, bass & electric guitars) and vocalizes, and Victoria hits drums & cymbals while standing up. She started learning drums just weeks before their first show in June of 2004.
The two cite influences as diverse as XTC, Cake, Beck, John Lennon, Robyn Hitchcock, Foo Fighters, Sting, Steely Dan and way more.
Since the release of their self-produced debut CD “Tank Full Of Gas And An Empty Cupâ€쳌, they have been featured on the CBS Early Show. Two other CDs have followed and they're currently working on #4.
