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 + Cincinnati

3OH!3 rolled through Cincinnati in April 2023, hitting up Sigma Sigma Commons at the University of Cincinnati. The Colorado duo's brand of electro-rap has always had a college crowd appeal, and they've maintained a solid presence in the circuit over the years. Their maximalist, almost aggressively fun approach to production finds natural homes in rooms like this.

Live Music in Cincinnati

Cincinnati's music scene has always had room for the weird and the loud. The city's indie rock pedigree and openness to electronic-leaning acts means electro-pop acts like 3OH!3 fit into a landscape that's seen everyone from Wussy to Lung build followings by refusing to play it straight. The college venues and clubs downtown keep the pipeline moving for touring acts who don't need arenas but appreciate audiences willing to have fun with the music.

Cincinnati road trip to see 3OH!3?

Stay in Hyde Park, Cincinnati's most elegant neighborhood, with tree-lined streets and restored Victorian homes. Dinner at The Eagle—a fine dining spot that takes Southern cooking seriously—pairs well with Stapleton's sensibility. Spend your afternoon at the Cincinnati Art Museum or walking the grounds at Spring Grove Cemetery, one of America's most beautiful cemeteries. Both offer quiet reflection before heading to the show. If you have time, catch the view from Skyline Chili's main location; the city panorama is worth the detour, even if the food is divisive.
