In my [#3IsABand series](https://wp.glamglare.com/music/category/artists/3-is-a-band/?ref=glamglare.com), I feature bands whose music excites me and who are comprised of exactly three band members. In my preparation for SXSW 2016 I came across several dozens of really cool trios, who I’d like to feature at a later time. For now, I boiled my long list of bands I want to see down to 16\. Stay tuned for our SXSW 2016 coverage.
