Artist History Formed by Karl Balch and Curtis Peoples in 1993, 3 Simple Words has been writing and performing music for some time now, which has given the band time to grow and develop as artists. Through numerous lineup changes, Karl and Curtis kept the band going. With the addition of Vic Fuentes in 1997, and Mitch Ballatore in 2000, the lineup was set and the band worked hard, recording two albums (Into the Grey and Underestimating the Curse) and performing all around Southern California in 2000-2001. In late 2001, Karl left the band to attend school in Los Angeles. After that, Vic and Curtis played acoustic shows and recorded an acoustic EP (All These Days). In mid 2002, Mike Rawluk became the band's new drummer. In the fall of 2002, the band recorded an EP (Twenty Dollar Revelations), which was released in early 2003. The band continues to work hard to increase their level of creativity and development.
