Bio
Me Three is the solo act of Alan Chesnutt, a 24 yr old from Tuscaloosa, AL. His music is a hybrid of electronic/experimental/indie and alternative genres. Some of his biggest influences are Ratatat, John Frusciante, and Animal Collective. He loves the raw crunchiness of synthesizers blended with organic and clean sounds from guitar all layered over some crisp beats.
"I try to make my music exciting, and original. Not to say that you can't spot my influences, but I try not to rip them off, I just take what it is that I love about those bands and let it incubate in my head for a while until I am no longer thinking of my influences when I write my music. " - Alan Chesnutt (Me Three)
Inviting fans of indie rock and electronica to come along on his
fascinating, diverse journey, multi-talented singer/songwriter Alan
Chesnutt (under the name Me, Three) brings you his debut album The Space Race. Featuring nine vocals and three instrumentals; two of which set the tone of the album, The Space Race is a more deeply developed and atmosphere-driven project than Chesnutt’s 2007 album Becoming Overgrown. Chesnutt’s first album was largely instrumental and sparse on lyrics; two of its original songs, “Unbelievable” and “Calculation Is Key,” and several others appear on the soundtrack to the new independent film “Half Empty.” The Space Race features more pure electronic in the mix with some mainstream rock tunes. The Tuscaloosa, Alabama native cites the greatest influence on his current sounds as the Brooklyn based band Ratatat, whose powerful sound is driven by a rock-electronica hybrid and whose musical landscapes Chesnutt is a longtime fan of.
Chesnutt began adding to his arsenal of instruments “by necessity,” and since launching his own solo career as Me, Three, he has performed in his hometown at the Mellow Mushroom Bar and Egan's, and at regional hotspots like Rocketown in Nashville and Little Kings in Athens, GA. While the depth of his production on The Space Race demands that he be a studio based artist, Chesnutt enjoys performing live and rising to the challenge of recreating the sonic adventures of his recordings with the help of a laptop providing the backing tracks.
