Rx3 is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Smith, who started the band after a trip out to Joshua Tree, CA in 2001 to make demos with Fred Drake at Rancho De La Luna (Earthlings, Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan).
The resulting sound was abrasive indie rock mixed with late 1980s/1990s UK shoegaze and pop radio leaning vocal hooks.
Their subsequent/official releases found Rx3 in the studio with producer Noah Shain as well as remixers and guest appearances by Z Trip, members of New Order, Bauhaus, Mumiy Troll and Madonna as well as mentor Steve Perry (ex-Journey frontman).
Rx3 has toured consistently since 2006 and has supported other acts such as The Strokes, Psychedelic Furs, Zombies, The Walkmen, Mumiy Troll, Trail of Dead, Cranes, Sparta, The Teenagers, Silversun Pickups and The Living End.
In Summer 2012, Rx3 released a single/video in Russia called "Do Svidaniya" which featured Russian singer Ilya Lagutenko from the band, Mumiy Troll.
