They have performed over 275 live shows for more than 300,000 people in twelve states across the US and have been on the reality TV show, Wife Swap for 15 million viewers. 3 Kisses released their third full-length CD in May 2007 and were recently inducted into the Independent Music Registry. Martin Folkman, Publisher of the Musician's Atlas says, Nut Job "combines pop, metal and punk into a musical fusion that is: One: infectious; Two: out of this world; and uniquely: Three Kisses! This band packs more energy into a 3-minute song than all the WMD's combined!" Madalyn Sklar of GoGirlsMusic.com says, "catchy tunes and a rockin' beat. Tish Meeks and company have unleashed frenzy, so hop along and join the ride!" 3 Kisses delivers quality entertainment, whether playing a full electric set, or toning things down a bit with acoustic finesse.

The Long:
3 KISSES jumps from one high energy style to another with traces of just about every cool female-fronted rock band of the last 20 years. The band has been compared to an array of artists including the Cranberries, Luscious Jackson, the Breeders, Joan Jett, the Buzzcocks, Letters to Cleo, Wendy O. Williams, Blondie, the Ramones and everything in between. They have coined the phrase ‘Texas Party Punk’ to describe their music. 3 KISSES’ live performance has been called ‘freakin’ explosive’ and lead singer/guitarist Tish Meeks has been referred to as ‘a ball of fire on stage.’ Tish Meeks launched 3 KISSES in Austin, TX, in January 2004 and the band has since performed over 350 live shows for over 300,000 people. Adam Love (guitar), Pat Wilson (bass) and Andy Wood (drums) complete the recipe for 3 KISSES’ punkish ‘cuddle-angst’ with a positive, party vibe.
Tumultuous lyrics delivered in a zany, upbeat fashion has become a 3 KISSES trademark and make their songs addicting. Martin Folkman, Publisher of the Musician’s Atlas writes, “3 KISSES is fronted by the kinetic Tish Meeks who no guitar, mic stand or stage can contain. [This band] packs more energy into a 3-minute song than all the WMD's combined!”
