Third Eye Blind-Ursa Major-2009-ELB

[elladob]

 

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.
