MARVELOUS 3

Marvelous 3 was formed by lead singer/guitarist Butch Walker, bass guitarist Jayce Fincher, and drummer Doug Mitchell (a.k.a. Mitch "Slug" McLee). All three band members had played together previously in glam outfit SouthGang, Floyds Funk Revival, and The Floyds, before reemerging as Marvelous 3 in 1997 when they released their first album, Math and Other Problems, which would sell just over 4,000 copies by January 2000.

The band's most successful album – Hey! Album – was released in the fall of 1998, with the lead single "Freak of the Week" reaching number 5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 23 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The band toured with bands such as Collective Soul, SR-71, Dynamite Hack, and Train, and appeared on the WB television show Charmed. By 2000, Hey! Album had sold 90,000 copies in the US. Following a final tour, in which the band headlined Music Midtown in May 2001, they ended with a final farewell show at Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park in August 2001.
