Although often lumped into the post-grunge category, Third Eye Blind
sported a brighter sound than many of their late-'90s peers, taking as
much influence from classic pop/rock traditions as the angst-ridden
music that dominated the decade. The group scored its first hit in 1997,
when the debut single "Semi-Charmed Life" cracked the Top 10. Third Eye
Blind built upon that success throughout the following three years,
releasing a number of singles (three of which cracked the Top 10) while
touring with the likes of U2 and Oasis. After taking a break during the
early 2000s, the band returned in 2009 with its fourth studio album,
Ursa Major.
Third Eye Blind hails from San Francisco, where singer Stephan Jenkins
made his name as a solo musician after earning an English degree from
the University of California at Berkeley. Jenkins soon decided to piece
a band together. After several lineups failed to gel, former Fungo Mungo
bassist Arion Salazar joined the group, which Jenkins had named Third
Eye Blind (in reference to the metaphysical concept of a mind's eye). At
one of the band's early shows, guitarist Kevin Cadogan a former
student of Joe Satriani who later became involved in the northern
California ska and punk scenes introduced himself to Jenkins. Cadogan
subsequently joined Third Eye Blind in late 1995, bringing along former
ounting Crows drummer Brad Hargreaves, as well.
As Third Eye Blind worked on cementing its sound, Jenkins began earning
major-label attention through his production of the Braids' cover of
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," which became an international hit. He
signed a publishing deal shortly afterward, reported to be the largest
such deal ever presented to an unreleased artist. Meanwhile, Third Eye
Blind cultivated a dedicated fan base by playing the Bay Area
frequently, and the group's original 14-song demo attracted attention
from major labels. The buzz was continuing to build when the musicians
finagled their way into a prized opening slot for Oasis' April 1996
concert at the Civic Auditorium. The group was still unsigned at the
time, but following their well-received performance (which included an
encore a rare opportunity for an opening band), Third Eye Blind became
the subject of a bidding war.
The band eventually signed with Elektra/Asylum, a label that afforded
them a considerable degree of artistic freedom. Jenkins was tapped as
the band's producer and received a production deal to help develop new
groups, but his top priority remained with Third Eye Blind. With Jenkins
handling production studies, the band recorded their eponymous debut in
San Francisco with the assistance of Eric Valentine, an engineer who had
also worked on their early demos. The self-titled Third Eye Blind was
released in the spring of 1997; by that summer, the introductory single
"Semi-Charmed Life" had become a chart-topping modern rock hit. Spawning
several more successful singles (including "How's It Going to Be" and
"Jumper"), the album broke into the Billboard Top 200 and remained there
for over a year, establishing Third Eye Blind as one of the most popular
bands of the late 1990s.
Blue followed in 1999 and sold 150,000 copies within a month of its
release. Although fans heralded it the band's strongest album, only one
song the sprightly "Never Let You Go" matched the success of the
band's past singles. Tours across the globe followed throughout 2000,
but by the time 2001 rolled around, the band had lost a crucial member
(guitarist Cadogan, who co-wrote much of the band's material before
exiting the lineup) and opted for some time off. Tony Fredianelli soon
climbed aboard as the band's replacement guitarist, and Third Eye Blind
turned its attention to several charity events. They played shows in
support of the Tiger Woods Foundation and helped organize Breathe, a
performance that promoted breast cancer awareness.
By 2003, Third Eye Blind resumed schedule with the release of Out of the
Vein. The record suffered from poor marketing, due in part to Elektra's|
merger with Atlantic, and Out of the Vein ultimately failed to ignite
the same commercial sparks as its predecessor. Nonetheless, the band
returned to the drawing board that same year, although Jenkins' lengthy
battle with writer's block prolonged the release of a new album for six
years. In the interim, a best-of compilation entitled A Collection
appeared in 2006, and the band continued to tour in support of their
past releases. Third Eye Blind's long-awaited fourth album, Ursa Major,
was issued in 2009, preceded one year earlier by the digital EP Red
Star.
