Band - 3-D Genre : Rock cover band with great audience instincts Venue : Samuel Adams Pub Date : January 1 , 2017 Hometown : Lehigh Valley PA
Band Members :
Dave Apgar-Guitar and Vocals Dan Baab - Bass / Vocals Bruce Michaels - Drums
The band 3-D chose that name when the 3 members all had names that began with D . Well , they now have a new drummer whose name is Bruce . Since they didn ' t re-name the band , I ' m just gonna call him " Drummer ".
So , now we have Dave , Dan , and Drummer – hence the name 3-D
I got to see them on their first gig with the new guy ; Drummer . And what a great time that was . The band played well together , the set lists were right on , creating a fun atmosphere for the audience , and Dave , the charismatic gutiar playing singer did everything possible to engage the crowd . He told me during a break that they intentionally sprinkie some dance toons like " gold on the ceiling " into the second set to get people on the dance floor . They had a couple of the gals come on stage and perform a part that I fondly call the " oooh oooh " girls , they sang backup " Oooh Ooohs " to The Rolling Stones Sympathy for the Devil !
Because Lehigh Valley musicians are very supportive of each other ; there happened to be a few in the audience that night ( ok , more than a few ) Dave managed to coerce Bob Hahr and Sanna Saleet onto the stage where they took turns singing verses of Black Sabbath ' s War Pigs ( video url ) It was a great idea and the audience loved it !
Set I American Girl - Tom Petty Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Topp Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers - ZZ Topp Talk Dirty - Jason Derulo Twilight Zone - Golden Earring Walk this Way - Aerosmith She ' s Country - Jason Aldeen The Middle-Jimmy Eat World Keep Away - Godsmack
Set II Another Thing Coming- Judas Priest Gold On The Ceiling - Black Keys Heart breaker - Pat Benetar Crazy Bitch - Jet What I like About You - The Romantics Lonely Boy- The Black Keys IF you could only See - Tonic How Many More Times - Led Zepplin War Pigs - Black Sabbath Killing in the name -Rage Against The Machine
Set III Be My Girl - Jef Hard to Handle - Black Crows Basket Case - Green Day Simple Man -Lynyrd Skynyrd Hash Pipe - Weezer She Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd Not My Time - 3 Doors Down Sympathy for the Devil- The Rolling Stones Sandman - Metallica Dirty Deeds - AC / DC
Probably the biggest surprise was vocalist / bass player Dan ' s range of vocals ... he sings great , with a strong raspy voice that can be heard throughout the night . He sang Godsmack , Zepplin , ZZ Topp .. but then ... there was Weezer . That still doesn ' t compute in my brain !
The goal of a cover band is to entertain the crowd and keep the guests out all night long ... 3D absolutely did that ! I can ' t wait to see them again , hopefully on a night I ' m NOT working !
