THREE DAYS GRACE: NO DODGEBALL

(VIDEO) Three Days Grace say they don’t need another hit, as in Dodgeball… Find out what this is about here!

Three Days Grace are currently touring in support of their new album One-X, but they’ve learned several things from their promotional activities of their debut.

When a new band hits the scene they’re asked to do all sorts of promo activities. One of those activities was a radio station promotion to play dodgeball with the band, and drummer Neil Sanderson and vocalist Adam Gontier say they’re never dong that again.

[Neil] “Yeah the dodgeball thing was just unruly. I guess you call into the local radio station. It was in Milwaukee, and…” [Adam]”You win a chance to play dodgeball with Three Days Grace.” [Neil] ” So a couple of headhunters called in and basically they were out to kill.” [Adam] “We just showed up and it was this big auditorium thing and they split us into two teams and they made us fire balls at each other.” [Neil] “As much as I like to play drums with a pulled groin it’s not really suitable for our profession. There is still a dodgeball wedged up in at the top of the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee. If you’re ever there check it out. I put it there.”

Three Days Grace entered the Billboard 200 album chart at Number 5 last week, and it was the second highest debut, taking a back seat only to the new CD by Busta Rhymes.

The band are on a brief hiatus, but return to the road with Hoobastank and Nickelback starting June 30 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
