I bet you think this song is about you

Ah vanity, sweet vanity, how I love you so.

Stand by 3 chords and the truth lovers for an hour of Songs of the Rich and Famous. Respectful, scurillous and everything in between.

AAH! The sky is falling in ..... no, it's Three Chords and the Truth!

Andy and Alex are back on air Sundays 1pm, with the best back-to-basics, local and international music-making, singing n songwriting going round. First hour is themed and this week you are in for a big surprise. The end of the world is nigh: Sneak previews this summer start Sunday 13th December!

How would you describe the show?

Imagine a wholegrain herbal tofu steak rolled in crushed nuts in a fairy bread sandwich with a side of refried beans and a dollop of grits. That’s Three Chords and the Truth. And it’s back, Sunday December 13, 1pm.

Equal love with Craig and Leo

All it took for Craig and Leo to get married was love, passion and a 17,000 km journey from Melbourne to Montreal.

Just one of the true stories we told on this season of Three Chords and the Truth. Check out the podcast on:

The Hour of Power

This week, our final show for the season, Sunday coming, is an 'Hour of Power' featuring songs of pride and strength.

Then it's over to Jenny to bring you everything special, colourful, magical, Local and Vocal.

Catch us again in December!

Self-inflicted

This show reflects what songwriters write about. And this week we’re crook as a dog’s hind leg. If there is one thing that musos are full of, it’s alcohol and every other self-indulgence that’s going. Since 1pm on a Sunday a lot of our audience are still registering the night before … we think this week’s theme hits the nail on the head (though we promise we’ll hit it very, very gently without making too much noise Ssssh!)

The Return of Alexander

Hi Y'all. Alex is back from his OutGames/Copenhagen/Amsterdam/Belgium/Spain/Scotland Women's Weekly World Tour for this week's show. Catch up on "truths" he will share with us all. Andy.

BLASPHEMY !!!!!

This week the theme for the first hour is BLASPHEMY. Hoping we won't be struck by lightning. Sunday 1pm-3pm. Hosts: Andy Mack & Jenny.

Bloke free at last

This week the regular hosts of 3 Chords, Alex and Andy, will both be absent. Alex is on his Copenhagen-Amsterdam-Amsterdam-Bruges-Sitges-Glasgow International Gay Tour. Andy is going to see his nephew perform in Spamalot. Therefore listeners, Local & Vocal's Jenny will be taking the reins for the week - ENJOY.

Murder, theft, strangling, adultery

The things that inspire songwriters makes you wonder about the company they keep.

Crimes and their punishments is our theme in the first hour of Three Chords and the Truth this Sunday.

The right side of legal, but just as heinous, we'll also be talking crimes against fashion, and I'd love a song about the crime Bruno commits: 'Carbicide'.

Joy is throwing a party while we are on air this Sunday so why not come and say haalllooooo!

2nd hour - we're back with Equal Love and Equal Love songs, and we'll be finding out how the girls do it on a Love Boat!

3 Chords - Reboot

We're back back back. If you need to wash all that "Allegro Non Troppo" inoffensive soft-classic white-bread confetti-music out of your system, keep listening to JOY for a swig of something real, gritty and wholemeal. "3 Chords & the Truth": Blues, country, folk & gospel. 2 hours of rough diamonds for your listening pleasure. JOY 94.9, joy.org.au

Episode 1: Where Daytime TV and country music overlap, the Twilight Zone

This weekend only, journey with us as Three Chords and the Truth takes you where lyrics form rinds, plots eat their tales, and everyone is related! Riedel will be played by Andy Mac, Striker is played by Alex. Who is our Special Guest Star? And will he play a long-lost second cousin or the love-child of guitar-poke who played for One Night Only in 1979?

Where we're going you'll need a local. And we always get our man out alive.

Do you believe in a bible-based marriage?

Here's a little video from America's Betty Bower on what a bible based marriage is all about.
