The 3 Heads: Bio/Contact
The 3 Heads
Bio:The 3 Heads are an acoustic rock/pop group that focuses its collective talent on straightforward songwriting. As you will hear, or have already heard, all of the songs vary in style and range from power-pop songs to mid-tempo grooves to soulful mellow ballads. The one constant that resonates throughout both their CD and live shows is their use of vocal melodies and harmonies that always seem to carry an undeniable hook, regardless of what “style” of song it is. Also, each song’s simple structuring and lyrical rhythm possesses a unique and yet familiar sound for the listener. This quality is what makes the music both easy to initially listen to and addictive as one discovers the many different sounds of The 3 Heads.

David Banks
Drums/Percussion
David Banks has been playing and studying drums since the age of 5. A California native without the attitude. Has studied Jazz, African rhythm, and funk. Adds a very unique soul feel. and is proud to be part of the original MTV generation. He has played everything from Metal to Jazz to today's alternative. As a child while most kids in school were playing sports and loving the great outdoors, David locked himself in his room for hours a day practicing and doesn't remember eating much because of course that took too much time away from his determination of learning and mastering the drums.
While being a bonified rock drummer David enhances the dimensions of performances by subtly integrating the styles and early influences of R&B, Jazz and Motown, incorporating them with the underling swing of his own style.
David also keeps busy acting and thanks his father Tom Banks, the creator of "Heard It Through The Grapevine" spot with the dancing raisins. That influenced him at an early age. To date David has been in over 30 national commercials. Has attended the Groundlings, and believes that once Improv is in your blood you can't get enough!!!
He believes that playing the drums is not only the best way to satisfy the soul but it's also the best way to vent with sticks. Playing with such talented artists gives him the freedom to express a style inspired by the wide variety and diversity of his influences. David also enjoys the thrill and spontaneity of last minute fill ins and believes a musician can never have too many influences.
