Artist History Although the band has spent much of the last year composing and recording, their frequent live gigs have energized the local music community, winning the admiration of fans and the respect of fellow musicians. A Warp 3 show leaves no doubt in your mind - these guys can P L A Y. Whether they're spinning out jaw-dropping unison lines or settling into canyon-deep grooves, the band's live show pleases as much as it impresses. With Warp 3, the catchy hooks share equal time with the exhibitions of prowess, taking you on a trip through gossamer threads of finesse and curtains of fiery technique. Warp 3 is currently promoting their first full length CD, 'Music has Evolved' which will be available January 2000. This 'Enhanced CD' is a blistering 1 hour in length and contains a 2 minute video from the band, which you can view on your computer and features live/studio footage and humorous behind-the-scenes outakes. Warp 3 teamed up with Guitar Nine Records for distribution. Their goal? To form an alliance which will solidify their position in the music industry and broaden the scope of their commercial reach.
