Bio

The 3Ds were Dunedin's top noisepop act during the early 90s. Formed in May 1988, The 3Ds could do no wrong. From their high energy and popular live performances to guitarist David Mitchell's crazy artwork of drunken sailors and naked whores they had a distinct take on Rock n Roll.

The genius guitarplaying of David Mitchell, coupled with the ever-so-slightly warped pop song-writing sensibilities of David Saunders (with the occasional tune thrown in by Denise Roughan), made The 3Ds a fantastic band, both live and on album.

Hellzapoppin followed two stunning EPs on Flying Nun and was preceded by an equally impressive David Saunders song, Outer Space, a storming wigged out single which bursts into the trademark Mitchell wiggly lead line. "I left my face, in outer space."

Dominic performed with Bird Nest Roys and Snapper prior to The 3Ds and The Battling Strings and Dunedin 'supergroup' Mr Big Nose.

Denise was formerly in the band Look Blue Go Purple and David Mitchell has performed with Chug.
