About 3OH!3
3OH!3 is the Denver electronic hip-hop duo of Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte. They broke through in 2008 with "Don't Trust Me," a bratty electropop track that became an unavoidable ringtone and MTV fixture. The song's dismissive charm—basically telling someone not to believe a word they say—captured something about the band's whole aesthetic. They followed up with "Starstrukk" featuring Katy Perry, which cemented their place in the late-2000s pop-rap conversation. Their songs blend kid-friendly party beats with deadpan lyrical attitude, skiing the line between sincere and ironic so carefully it's hard to tell which side they're actually on. They've never quite replicated those early peaks, but they've maintained a solid touring presence and cult following among people who grew up on their MySpace-era hits.
Their shows are basically sanctioned chaos. Crowds are there to lose it to the hits—hands up, phone flashlights out. The energy is college-party stupid in the best way. They seem genuinely into it too, not phoning it in.

3OH!3 + Austin
3OH!3 last touched down in Austin back in March 2009 at Emo's, back when the Denver duo was riding high on the electro-rap wave that made them unlikely radio fixtures. That was a different era for the band — before the whole scene shifted, before people got tired of talking about their sound. They were doing the thing then that made them work: bouncing between synth hooks and rapid-fire verses, the kind of songs that sounded ridiculous until you realized you couldn't get them out of your head. Austin's always been a city that could handle that duality, the weird and the catchy existing in the same space without apology.

Live Music in Austin
Austin's music scene has a weird relationship with genre. The city's known for live music and guitars, sure, but it's also always had room for acts that don't fit neatly into Americana or indie rock. Electronic acts and hip-hop adjacency have found audiences here because Austin crowds tend to care more about whether something's interesting than whether it conforms. That flexibility is probably why 3OH!3 could work here — the city's never been precious about what counts as real music.
Austin road trip to see 3OH!3?
Stay in East Austin, where you'll find better restaurants and a neighborhood that actually feels alive. Dinner at Suerte—confident, creative food in a space that doesn't try too hard. During the day, wander the galleries and vintage shops along East 6th, or head to Zilker Park to sit with a coffee and watch Austin be itself. If you've got time, catch live music at Mohawk or Hotel Vegas—smaller rooms where you can see how Austin's songwriting community actually operates. The city's best asset isn't any single thing; it's the density of good people doing interesting work.
