In the late 80s, the Gin Blossoms started to grow a huge following as the top local music draw in Phoenix, and certainly were the hometown heroes of Tempe, Arizona.
Their indelible jangle-pop sound was evolving during radio’s diverse mix of hair bands and grunge music superstars. The Gin Blossoms breakout record, New Miserable Experience, was where their rise to fame began. The album kept the band on the charts for almost three years with singles “Hey Jealousy,” “Allison Road,” Until I Fall Away,” “Mrs. Rita” and “Found Out About You.”
Having dominated radio and MTV playlists for most of the 90s, the Gin Blossoms took a brief turn of the century hiatus. However, the band’s idiosyncratic magic proved impossible to ignore for long, and on New Year’s Eve 2001 in their hometown of Tempe, the band reconvened and never looked back.
From their breakout album through today, Robin, Jesse, Bill and Scotty have sold more than 10 million records and are one of the most in demand 90s live artists who began at the end of the grunge era.
