High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Three Dollar Bill is a band founded by Jane Danger and Chris Piss in Chicago, Illinois in 1998. The name comes from the expression "Queer as a three dollar bill". The Bureau of Engraving and Printing has never been authorized to print a $3 note.

The band tour and play throughout the east coast and the midwest of the U.S..... Mehr
