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 + Washington DC

3OH!3 brought their particular brand of digital-era debauchery to RFK Stadium Grounds in June, moving through a set that felt like a greatest hits filtered through their current moment. They opened with "PUNKBITCH" and "My First Kiss" before settling into deeper material like "RICHMAN" and "INSIDE BOY / 7-11," songs that showed there's more to their catalog than the obvious singles. "Starstrukk" and "Don't Trust Me" closed things out, but it was the deep cut "CHOKECHAIN" that felt like the real statement—a reminder that these guys have been making calculated noise for over a decade.

Live Music in Washington DC

Washington DC has historically tilted toward indie rock and go-go, but the city's always had an appetite for acts that straddle genres and don't fit neatly into the local template. 3OH!3's digital-first pop-punk sensibility—synth-heavy, aggressively catchy—finds common ground with DC's appreciation for artists who do their own thing. The venue circuit here supports touring acts with staying power, and bands like 3OH!3 that built devoted fanbases early tend to do well when they come through.

Washington DC road trip to see 3OH!3?

Stay in Georgetown or Capitol Hill, both walkable neighborhoods with excellent restaurants and bars. Book a table at Kinfolk in Capitol Hill for refined New American cooking, or head to Pineapple and Pearls for something more elaborate if you want to splurge. During the day, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden offers world-class contemporary art without the crowds of the main Smithsonians. Walk the C&O Canal towpath if the weather cooperates. Hit up one of the city's serious record shops like Smash! Records before the show.
