A catharsis in the form of a Two Man Grunge Army:
3 SECONDS DUMB
Why this name?
Another pseudonym of this experimental pop outfit. We have been changing name since the start of this partnership, probably due to excess ideas and boredom. We have used the name “Sister_Cow” when we joined the 2003 Red Horse muziklaban and in present time, we are dubbed “the Pepsi Paloma Project” here in our hometown. Anyway, we decided to adapt this rather, curious monicker to define the state of mind that will surely cloud your consciousness upon streaming on our tracks. We cannot boast a new “Big Thing” sound since we admit we are just an old fashioned pop/grunge outfit (the only genre that can be properly cited as recyclable) but we're damn sure you’ll go dumb in 3 seconds (or make it 20seconds to be exact) before you can even mutter “what the hell” with the different atmospheres of our songs.
Do you play live?
yeah...uhuh uhuh...no regular gigs...if there's a good show, we'll be sure to provide the soundtrack...
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
helps you get the music across...and uhm...world peace??!?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Of course. We want to be heard but the terms and lines of creativity of this outfit should not be compromised.
Band History:
Serafin (guitars/bass/junk foods) had gone in hiatus from his study after unsuccessfully hustling school work in UST and playing covers. He then went back to Bicol to meet a neurotic poet/Counselor by the name of Ahmad (songwriter/vocals/Chicken skins). They both discovered that they have the same cathartic passion for experimenting with covers and doing originals. Unfortunately, the music scene in their hometown isn’t open for this kind of creativity. They continue to play, experimenting with blues/classic rock/new wave revivals done in a new twist with a band called Pepsi Paloma Project and during free times, they do the only thing that would make them free.
At present, Serafin continued his architecture studies in Bicol. He is now legally married to his weather beaten "Washburn" guitar, giving it the best jazz licking it ever had.
Ahmad however is still neurotic.
Your influences?
Ahmad: early Seattle scene grunge forerunners (Nirvana, STP, Alice in Chains etc.) and geek/pop/emo wonders (Beatles, Weezer, Rivermaya, Barbie’s Cradle etc.)

Serafin: John Mayer,Oasis, Eric johnson, Steve Morse, Eric Clapton

Favorite spot?
we are proud bicolanos and there's nowhere sweeter than home...but damn, the music scene here needs a lot of over hauling..
Equipment used:
Washburn guitar,Ovation acoustic, RJ bass, Yamaha PSR-520 keyboards, Shure Microphone, Sonar 2.2, drum loops/percussions from Sonar and Yamaha keyboards
Anything else...?
The root of our music is undeniably grunge/pop but it has a lot of layers that somehow distort this typecasting.So c'mon, give us a listen...let us define the mood...and you should do the swing...tan-tadadan-tan!

P.S.
if you think, the two songs in our music page sum up our whole sound then think again...3 songs are currently in post production..expect something different...even louder...
