3OH!3 (pronounced “three oh three”) is an American electronica group from Boulder, Colorado. The band is named after the 303 area code, which covers Boulder, Aurora, and the Denver metropolitan area.

Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte were inspired by the hip-hop/electronic scene and Foreman invited Motte to mix some beats and hang out with him. The two were helped early on by friendships they had made with local acts such as Grace Gale, Signal to Noise and The Blackout Pact. Their self-titled debut album was not a commercial success and debuted in 2007.
After playing the first show in Florida of Warped Tour 2007, 3OH!3 signed on for all venues of Warped Tour 2008 with the exception of Philadelphia on July 25. Their song “Punkbitch” is featured on the Warped Tour 2008 Tour Compilation. The band has also played at national festivals such as Bamboozle Left. 3OH!3 commonly use skits and costumes during their live concerts and are known for their energetic shows.
The band then headlined the 2009 Alternative Press Tour across the U.S. with Family Force 5, The Maine, A Rocket to the Moon, and Hit The Lights. The band performed in Panama City Beach, Florida for MtvU’s Spring Break in March 2009.
3OH!3 will again join the Warped Tour in 2009. 3OH!3 will also be apart of Kiss Concert ‘09 (Kiss 108), Kiss The Summer Hello 2009 @ Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo, NY, June 3rd 2009, along with Kevin Rudolf, The White Tie Affair, The Veronicas, The Ting Tings, & Elliott Yamin.

Simple Plan is a French Canadian pop/rock band formed in Montréal, Québec. They began with the formation of the Canadian punk band Reset in 1993, by high-school friends Pierre Bouvier and Charles-André (Chuck) Comeau. Reset toured around Canada with bands such as MxPx, Ten Foot Pole, and Face to Face, but only managed to gain modest popularity. Soon after their debut album was released, Comeau left to go to college but two years later he hooked up with Jean-François (Jeff) Stinco and Sébastien Lefebvre, and again started making music. It was coincidence that brought Comeau and Bouvier back together at a Sugar Ray concert in late 1999, and Bouvier soon left Reset and joined his old friends.David Desrosiers replaced Bouvier in Reset, but when asked to join the foursome, he soon left the band too.

All five members grew up in Québec, Canada. The band have released three studio albums: No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls (2002), Still Not Getting Any (2004) and Simple Plan (2008) as well as two live CDs: Live in Japan (2002) and MTV Hard Rock Live (2005).

Their third anticipated self-titled album, was released everywhere on February 12, 2008 and has since gone Platinum in Canada and Brazil and Gold in Mexico.
