REMEMBER THE 90s? THREE FINGER CHARLIE DOES!
THREE FINGER CHARLIE comes to you from the wilderness of Loudoun County with a sonic assault of 90s rock, alternative and grunge. The CHARLIE boys will bring you a mix of radio anthems and forgotten hits from the heady days of WHFS and MTV's Alternative Nation, as well as a damn good time. You'll hear songs from grunge heavyweights like Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots; alternative heroes like Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, and Bush; pop-punk pioneers Green Day, Blink 182 and The Offspring; one-hit wonders like Dishwalla, The Refreshments and Seven Mary Three, and a host of others.
Our heroes assembled in 2008, each bringing a common love of the rock of the 90s to the Mighty Garage of Excessive Volume. Each of the guys brought different perspectives on the decade—some heavy, some radio-friendly, some obscure—all packed with extra awesome. From the first meetings, it was clear this group was going to be something special. Early gigs were met with rave reviews and led to repeat gigs with bands like 8 Track Jones, The Backseat Betties, Bad Luck, Yesterday's Saints and Aces & Eights.
Guitarist Andy Rabin takes on most of the lead duties, sometimes duplicating solos note-for-note, while offering sterling lead and backing vocals. Rhythm guitarist Dan Schollian may resemble a certain sleeveless flannel-wearing Blue Collar comedian, but his vocals call to mind Vedder, Cobain, Rossdale and beyond—he can even pull off a convincing Oasis! Steady as they come, drummer Jason Rogers is influenced by technical wizards like Tool's Danny Carey and rock legends like John Bonham, but brings energy to the stage unparalleled by just about anybody. Bassist and vocalist Scott Clark keeps the low end steady and thunderous while offering his best Billy Corgan or Maynard James Keenan impression.
Come join THREE FINGER CHARLIE at a club near you, to relive all your favorite 90’s memories!
