3 was formed in the summer of 1986. After recording the Egg Hunt songs in England, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson considered forming a new band. They played with Geoff Turner and Steve Niles of Gray Matter, but the project never got off the ground and Ian decided to leave. The others carried on and soon added yet another Gray Matter member, Mark Haggerty, and this line-up would become 3.
The band recorded a demo and played a few shows, but disbanded prior to the release of their only album "Dark Days Coming". 3 and Happy Go Licky played their last shows together on New Year's Day, 1988.
