Third Eye Blind's 'Blue'



New York, NY
Oct. 12, 1999

Elektra’s Third Eye Blind are scheduled to release Blue, the follow-up to their spectacularly successful debut, on November 23. Blue, recorded at Northern California’s infamous studio The Plant, was again produced by frontman Stephan Jenkins along with his 3eb bandmates.

San Francisco-based Third Eye Blind stormed the music world in 1997 with their self-titled, self-produced debut, which achieved sales of more than 4 million. The record remained on Billboard’s Top Albums chart for an incredible 104 weeks, generating countless anthems, including "Semi-Charmed Life," "Graduate," "How’s It Going To Be," "Losing A Whole Year" and "Jumper." The band’s signature sound dominated radio, with "Semi-Charmed Life" earning the significant honor of most-played song on radio in 1997 and, amazingly, "Jumper" earned similar honors for the first half of 1999. Throughout, 3eb toured relentlessly, emerging as one of the 90’s top headlining acts, all the while landing numerous awards and nominations, a performance on tv’s Saturday Night Live, capping things off in the fall of 1998 as MTV’s band of choice to headline the channel’s premier Campus Invasion tour. They were just getting warmed up. 3eb’s boldest move yet, Blue, hits November 23. With Blue, 3eb capture the primal spontaneity that was unleashed by three years of intensive touring.

Third Eye Blind are frontman Stephan Jenkins, bassist Arion Salazar, guitar Kevin Cadogan and drummer Brad Hargreaves.
