Triple XXX December 19, 2009

Triple XXX is a full-fledged, in your face, rock n’ roll party machine! After almost 20 years this machine has been re-fueled and is now stronger than ever!

Triple XXX was formed in Farmington, Missouri in the late 80’s by vocalist Will Stegall and drummer Chad Walton. A veritable revolving door of local musicians filled out the band till early 1990 when Phil Hoffman solidified the bass position and Dave Papin owned the guitar slot. This line-up gelled and was soon rocking the local bars and making a name for themselves, primarily at Farmington’s late band venue, "Papa Don’s". The band had built up a rabid fan base, developed a tight show, and were regulars of the St. Louis music scene but they wanted to expand toward bigger and better things.

Opportunity knocked when Triple XXX was noticed and signed to a touring contract by a management team out of Minneapolis. They hit the road for the next couple of years playing 5 nights a week, honing their musical chops while also working on their party skills. Busted heads and broken hearts were left at every nightclub, strip joint and roadside bar around the U.S. from Superior, Wisconsin to Killeen, Texas while the band worked with the likes of Blue Oyster Cult, Lillian Axe, King of the Hill and Baywolfe just to name a few.

Eventually the wear and tear broke the band up, but the guys remained close friends and still did gigs every now and then, while tearing it up with other bands such as Nothing Sacred, Blue Marlin, and Stonebreaker along the way.

In the winter of 2008, the guys decided it was time for Triple XXX to kick some more ass, re-fuel the fire and see if they still had what it takes to rock.

Do they? Come check ‘em out and you decide. We’re sure you won’t be disappointed!
