Yes, they are a band, and here is how they got that name:
"The band started with three lead vocalists — Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells — who landed a recording contract with Dunhill Records in Los Angeles. They made some early recordings with Beach Boys producer, composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Brian Wilson, and initially went by the name Redwood. The band changed their name based on an article describing how Australian Aborigines slept with their dogs for warmth on cold nights, the coldest being a 'three-dog night.'"
Hope that helped.

The name comes from an expression meaning a night so cold that one needs three dogs in one's bed to stay warm

In the Arctic it meant that it was a very cold night so you slept with your dogs in the igloo.

"The Nacho" is correct about the saying coming from the Australian Aboriginees.
