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 + San Jose

3OH!3 last touched down in the Bay Area back in June 2018, playing Shoreline Amphitheatre with the kind of setlist that showed they weren't just phoning it in. They dug into "Richman" and "Colorado Sunrise" alongside the obvious crowd-pleasers, and closed things out with "Don't Trust Me" — a solid choice for leaving people with something to remember. The Denver duo has always had that particular strain of electro-hip-hop energy that either clicks for you or doesn't, and their Bay Area stops tend to draw the people it clicks for.

Live Music in San Jose

San Jose's music scene has always been more about the broader Bay Area ecosystem than its own isolated identity, which actually works in favor of acts like 3OH!3. The region's deep roots in hip-hop, electronic music, and genre-blending production create an audience that doesn't blink at synth-driven rap-pop hybrids. Shoreline Amphitheatre serves as the natural venue for touring acts hitting the Peninsula, making it the de facto concert center for the South Bay.

San Jose road trip to see 3OH!3?

Stay in Willow Glen, where tree-lined streets and local galleries give you something to do before the show. Hit Adega for Portuguese cuisine that actually justifies the price, then walk off dinner around the neighborhood's vintage shops. If you've got afternoon time, the San José Museum of Art is legitimately worth an hour—it's small enough to not feel like a chore, and their contemporary collection is better curated than you'd expect. Grab coffee at Chromatic before heading to the venue. The area's low-key enough that you won't feel like you're in a tourist trap, but established enough that everything works.
