The Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption « W.C. Fields with gin blossoms, » referring to the actor’s gin-ravaged nose. The band released three albums and had several hits in the mid 1990s, before breaking up in 1997. Five years later in 2002, the band reunited, released a DVD, resumed touring, and promised a fourth album.
Major Lodge Victory, the Gin Blossoms’ first album in ten years, was released on August 8, 2006 on the Hybrid Recordings label. The band, today, is considered to have a wide influence on modern rock, due to its consolidation of melodic rock, folk, and country elements.
Members during the band’s early years included guitarist and songwriter Doug Hopkins, bassist Bill Leen, vocalist Robin Wilson, guitarist Richard Taylor, drummer Chris McCann, McCann’s replacement Dan Henzerling, and Taylor’s replacement Jesse Valenzuela. During their early years, the Gin Blossoms became well-known locally around their hometown of Tempe, Arizona. With the band’s frequent touring and resulting increase in popularity, the Blossoms also independently recorded their first full-length album, Dusted.
By the early 1990s, the lineup had changed to Leen on bass, Hopkins on guitar, Valenzuela on guitar and vocals, Wilson on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Phillip Rhodes on drums. After being signed with A&M Records, the band began to work on their debut album.

"hey jealousy sounds exactly like goo goo dolls :O" Listen to the version on their debut album "Dusted" Sure, that was just another band who tried to emulate The Replacements (along with early days of Goo Goo Dolls and Soul Asylum... to name just a couple others), but it is still cool to hear in a more raw fashion.

I liked them when I was 23. Now... I just don't care. Sorry.
-
Phlunked a écrit :
Yes... They are almost the epitome of a three-chord band, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. What I think happened with the Gin Blossoms in the 90's is that mainstream top 40 radio considered them to be a less edgy version of the Alt-Rock and Grunge that was dominating Modern Rock stations back then. The Gin Blossoms were basically a Top 40 version of 'alternative.'

Anyone else notice, all their riffs are the same or a slight variation of the same? I cannot tell one song from the next. Oh well, I do like one song - "Follow You Down" is a good tune and if you like one, you like them all, lol.

Fair enough. I will definately be giving it a few more spins to see how it grows on me, but right now I am disappointed. Major Lodge Victory wasn't perfect, but I have to say I prefer it to No Chocolate Cake.
