Shameless promotion, I know. But do check us out, we’re rounding the bend towards the finish line making this record and we couldn’t be prouder of the music we’re making.
When The Road Darkens was recorded at Applehead Recording and Production, was produced by Michael Birnbaum & Chris Bittner, and features Daniel Grimsland of theband3 on bass. Preorder your copy of the album via the Kickstarter!
3 live - “These Iron Bones”
Thank you for a great year! Though conceived in early 2008, A Thousand Torches was born in April 2010. Our glimmering presence existed as merely a tumblelog, but with donations contributed, we’ve been able to bring aKt closer to the complete vision of the website. Our Den (resource / archive) and Campsite (community bulletin board forum) are in development, and we’ve been in the habit of posting a rare thefamily3 song for download each month. Over 300 pages currently exist in the Den and over 500 snippets have been shared on the Tumblelog! During that time we’ve also begun to build an extensive collection of interviews, lyrics, detailed discographies… there’s a wealth of information just waiting to be uncovered! And plenty more to come! As 3 goes into their 18th year of being a band and gets ready to release their 7th album, www.athousandtorches.com is prepared to be there!
We here at aKt look forward to spending another year with YOU as well as our favorite music! Stay safe and have a healthy new year! A Thousand Torches wouldn’t exist without its community. <3

The new record seems to be just about at the half-way point.
-The songs have been solidified in the pre-production stage.
-Now in the Production phase… The groove has been fully laid down by Gartdrumm and Daniel. (they tweeted that when the two wrapped recording their parts)
-Some guitars and vocals are done, but it looks like that’s what’s left. Oh, and any additional instruments. Keys, strings, whatever. Would be cool if Gart’s Gong, Applehead’s Wurlitzer, Mike Boom’s sitar made appearances. Plus in the post-production there’s mixing, mastering, artwork, duplication, distribution… Not to mention promo.
Definitely can’t rush the process, but I’m really excited to hear!
3’s been performing about 4 new songs at their shows. I snagged some video clips, but I wouldn’t recommend listening to them because they came out so muddy that the quality could really ruin a first impression, but the band posted some studio clips-Billy and Gartdrumm working on “The Barrier” in the live room at Applehead Studio
Chris Bittner and Billy working on “Sparrow” in the control room at Applehead Studio
The songs I’ve heard feel like a very natural progression from The End is Begun. I really can’t wait to hear the final product, and I think it’s so cool that 3’s original bassist (from 1993-2001) is engineering/producing!
