Editor's note

District3 started in Salt Lake City as Friday the 13th.

A five-piece band that signed with Giant Records in 1997 and released the album "The Good Life."

If you want to hear what they were about, start with "Simply The Best." For something later, try "Dead To Me."

Their song "Simply The Best" from that debut became their most recognizable track, a straightforward rock-pop tune that connected with listeners. Other songs like "What D'you Know About Me" and "Beggin' / Turn Up The Music" shared that direct, earnest approach. Even later material like "Dead To Me" kept that melodic rock feel intact.

The band formed with brothers Paul and Mike Clarke, Mark Davis, Jason Day, and Nate Phillips. After signing with Giant, they put out "The Good Life" and saw some lineup shifts, like Nate Phillips leaving in 2003. They kept recording songs such as "Chasing Silhouettes" and "Dead To Me" without straying far from their early sound.

Archive material and source history

District3 started as a five-piece band in Salt Lake City, Utah, originally calling themselves Friday the 13th. Brothers Paul and Mike Clarke were part of the group along with Mark Davis, Jason Day, and Nate Phillips. They signed with Giant Records in 1997 and released their debut album "The Good Life."

That album included "Simply The Best," a song written by Mike Clarke and Paul Phillips that became their most recognizable track. It had a straightforward rock-pop feel that connected with listeners, though the band's other songs like "What D'you Know About Me" and "Beggin' / Turn Up The Music" showed a similar direct approach.

After some lineup changes, including Nate Phillips leaving in 2003, the group continued recording material like "Chasing Silhouettes" and "Dead To Me." Their sound remained grounded in the kind of earnest, melodic rock that defined their early work.
