Third Eye Blind, one of the most cited and emulated to this new generation of indie bands, is excited to announce its upcoming appearance at the 25th anniversary of Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago, IL from July 28-31. Third Eye Blind’s inclusion on the coveted Lollapalooza lineup comes on the heels of the announcement that the band will perform at this year’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN from June 9-12. Currently touring behind its critically acclaimed new full-length album, Dopamine, Third Eye Blind will visit markets such as Baton Rouge, LA on Wednesday, March 30, Oklahoma City, OK, on Saturday, April 2, Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, April 9, Portland, OR on Tuesday, April 12, and finish its run with a performance at Knitting Factory in Spokane, WA on Wednesday, April 13.
Additionally, Third Eye Blind recently released a music video for “Something In You.” Featuring a live version of the song and footage taken from the band’s sold out summer amphitheater tour, “Something In You” speaks as a love letter to the thousands of fans who have passionately continued to support the band and its vision over the course of their lengthy career. Check out the video for “Something In You”.
Third Eye Blind recently issued its first album in six years titled Dopamine (available on iTunes and Amazon) and celebrated its release with multiple U.S. tours. Songwriter Stephan Jenkins, renowned for his inimitable lyrical sensibility, developed this collection while on tour over the last few years behind the band’s previous number one album, Ursa Major. Though it employs signature guitar riffs, Dopamine is very much an exploration and rumination of the present tense. Jenkins utilizes his characteristic rhythmic vocal style and lyrical prowess on issues of identity, connection, isolation and authenticity while keeping a sharp eye on a culture in rapid change.
Paradoxically Third Eye Blind’s focus on guitar and live playing sounds novel and newly fresh in a pop landscape consumed with sequenced drums and keyboard tracks. There is a sense of spontaneity to Dopamine that can only come from their evolution as a live band. What remains constant, however, is the endearing quality in the music and the fierce heartfelt core of Jenkins’ narrative.
Third Eye Blind gained wide success at the end of the recording industry golden age. Their endurance and ability to adapt through the digital revolution speaks to the ingenuity and creativity found in the music. After four smash albums and millions of records sold worldwide, they continue to write, record and tour, entertaining their core audience while growing a larger, younger and more dedicated fanbase than ever. The band now work and communicate in a fluid new world where their music continues to naturally evolve. Their exchange with their audience is unfiltered, and being from the hub of the digital space, they are using it to develop a closer exchange with their audience, which will continue to flourish with the release of Dopamine.
