Third Eye Blind Bio

Since 1997, San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind have recorded three best-selling albums and
assembled one career retrospective. 3EB will release ’Ursa Major’, their first studio collection in
five years, in autumn 2009.

Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the
major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it
had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! 3EB, however,
have experienced no comparable loss. Instead, they have gained artistic clarification — and,
surprisingly, a fan base larger than ever.

Participation in the older, untouchable realm of nervous star-making and could color a band’s
identity. In the case of 3EB, it often blurred the perception of their brilliant musical creations. In
recent years, those creations have recast the band among a current generation of fans.

3EB now write, tour, record, and communicate in a fluid new world where their music continues
naturally to evolve. Their exchange with their audience is unfiltered.

    San Francisco based Third Eye Blind is responsible for one of the few truly undeniable rock singles of the late '90s, the sardonic "Semi-Charmed Life." Released in the summer of 1997, the song balances blaring power chords against a mindlessly catchy wordless vocal refrain, and hit the top of the Modern Rock radio charts as well as #11 on the Billboard 100 singles chart. more at www.rollingstone.com

    Third Eye Blind's eponymous debut is catchier than the average post-grunge album, and that fact alone reveals a lot about the band. Instead of relying on standard, plodding grunge influences, Third Eye Blind draw heavily from the simple hook-laden traditions of classic arena rock, which makes the album more immediate. more at www.allmusic.com
