justamente tres ("just three" [3] ) is an experimental indie album, the third by the band dos [3] featuring Mike Watt (Minutemen) and Kira Roessler (Black Flag). [4]
At the time, they believed this album might be their last (hence the "just three" title [3] ) as it was recorded shortly after Watt and Roessler divorced. [3] This led to a fifteen year gap between this album and the followupl dos y dos . [3]
Two of the album's tracks were later expanded upon and re-recorded for Mike Watt's solo album Ball-Hog or Tugboat? . [5] [6]
Punknews.org gave the album 3.5 out of 5 stars and said "If ever there was a band to serve as a reminder for what "punk" really means as a form of expression, Dos should be it." [5]
