It has been said that variety is a spice of life. That is just what this episode delivers with these 3 artists, which are united only by the fact that are all Spinner approved. Shall we get started?

Kicking off the first "3" of May is Austin-based Voxtrot. With their unforgettable hooks, the band has been able to stir up all kinds of buzz before it has even officially released an album. Watch them win over this Covington, Ky. crowd with their live assault of British influenced indie-pop. We then head over to Cary Brothers, who is best known for his emo-folk number on the 'Garden State' soundtrack. Experience the Tennessee troubadour mesmerizing a Colorado crowd. We wrap things up with the Latin-ska-jazz-rock-funk grooves of the Cat Empire, who get the party started for an energetic San Francisco crowd.

If you are still vibing on the 3x3 experience, there is more. Each "3 day" of the month we offer up 3-song live performance of 3 handpicked acts, along with 3-question interview with each artist, 3 things you need to know about that performer and a list of 3 mentions from the blogosphere. We've got 39 different performances for you to watch ranging from the alt-indie fury of Silversun Pickups to the world-flamenco madness of Rodrigo y Gabriela.
