3rd Born Sun started out in autumn 2001 as a
side project for guitarist Arroll Kelly with James Watt on drums,
Gavin Rodger on vocals and Stewart Grassie on bass. To start of
with, the band did not take themselves seriously as it was only
meant for fun and something to do. The music style was more of an
old metal style and did not sound fitting to the bands persona. The band played gigs such as Bazfest and Revoltfest
2002. After playing for about a year, 3BS went through a dramatic
change. The style completely changed and decided to take a more
serious approach to the music scene and play music that felt best
suited to there needs. The vocals changed from Gavin singing to a
more growl based death metal approach, Arroll came in on backing
vocals and the instruments were detuned for a heavier sound. 3BS
then recorded a demo CD with all the new song written and went
back to gigging.The new sound was
taken well when gigging but there was still something missing. A
line up change came to place. Pete Lowden who had played in
several bands along side 3BS replaced James Watt on drums in
April 2003. Pete took to the stool with ease and was more than
capable of filling in the spots that James couldn..t.
Finally, the sound 3BS had been looking for was complete.3BS were then offered gigs left right and centre,
playing up to 6 gigs a month. To cope with this, the band
recruited Dave Phillips as manager to organize gigs and help
publicize the band through out the UK. This was short lived as
Dave was coming up with several guitar riffs and would let the
band hear these at practices. 3BS decided to audition Dave on
second guitar to see how it would sound. The result was
excellent. Dave then became second guitarist for the band and
played his first gig with the band on Halloween night in the
balcony bar, Dundee.Since then, 3rd
Born Sun have played and headlined a large number of gigs all
over Scotland with bands from as far away as Germany. They have
had songs played on radio stations, worked for and played at the
Revolt festival. They have established a large fan base and are
constantly in the studio, writing new material.
