The concert was billed as a charity benefit for Musicians On Call, “a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in health care facilities.”

The invitation-only concert was produced and sponsored by the Recording Industry Association of America, which lobbies for the record industry. Multiple Twitter users particularly objected to the fact that the band didn’t play its 1997 hit “Semi-Charmed Life.” “You can boo all you want, but I’m the motherf***ing artist up here,” he replied.Īccording to Snapchat’s head of news, Peter Hamby, at one point in the show, Jenkins asked, “Who here believes in science?” “The gift that’s been given to me is that people view my music as enlivening them.Third Eye Blind tonite at #RNCinCLE event: We believe in tolerance, acceptance ?

(Third Eye Blind has offset the tour’s carbon footprint by donating a portion of each ticket sold to a US-based carbon offset project managed by ClimeCo.) The biggest tour in the band’s history will wrap August 3 in Irvine, CA with Jimmy Eat World and Ra Ra Riot.
Going strong for over two decades, Third Eye Blind have broken their own attendance records with 2019’s Summer Gods tour.
“We have always been so insular,” says Jenkins, “and on Screamer we adopted an open door policy - come in, be musical, and follow the song where it takes us.” “I seek to combine it with a percussive level of musical immediacy in this collection of songs to cultivate collective idealism and an unapologetic aspiration towards humanistic values.”
“My current mood resonates with rebellion, energy, courage, and risk,” says Stephan Jenkins, on Third Eye Blind’s sixth full length album, Screamer (October 18). The follow up to 2018’s EP Thanks for Everything, Screamer finds Third Eye Blind collaborating with Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells (“Screamer”), Ryan Olson of Marijuana Death Squad and Poliça (“Who Am I” and “Got So High”), and the album’s musical consigliere, Billy Corgan.
