Denver Loves them some 3Oh!3

303 is the area code for Denver, so this local band was playing to a home crowd at Mile High, despite the fact they have been playing the Warped Tour this summer. With the home field advantage, these two dudes electrified a packed audience under the Westwood Tent.

3OH!3 is extremely hot right now. Their song “Don’t Trust Me” has almost six million views on Youtube. They closed their show with their hit and you’d be hard pressed to choose a single song during the whole festival that was more of a crowd pleaser. The audience, packed with women, teens, and tweens, sang along with this song and almost every other song, including “Richman” and “Starstrukk” and “Holler till you Pass Out.”

It was cool to witness kid’s wilin’ out. For many kids this is their summer-of-love, their coming-of-age, a season they’ll never forget for their rest of their lives. Everyone has a summer like that. 3OH!3’s making it happen for many suburban kids this year.

3OH!3 is slightly reminiscent of The Bloodhound Gang in their sexually promiscuity.

Lyrics from “Don’t Trust Me” illustrate their sexual playfulness.

Tongues, always pressed to your cheeks / while my tongue is on the inside of some other girl’s teeth / tell your boyfriend, if he says he’s got beef / that I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t f*ckin scared of him. If anything, this band may think they’re a little more hardcore than they actually are. If you put them on certain streets in the 3-0-5, or the 7-1-8, or the 4-0-4, the 3OH!3 might be looking for a way out of town.

Also, prior to their Mile High show, it was questionable to many if their studio sound could translate well to a live show, but the duo was up to the task. They brought a manic high energy that was highly convincing of their rock star status. As far as the crowd was concerned, 3OH!3 was a highlight of the day. The crowd were literally jumping up and down for many songs; screaming, sweating, non-stop energy. It was an inspired set. The crowd had their hands in the air, throwing up a sign representing the 3-0-3—it looked like a white kid’s version of Jay Z’s diamond.
