It began in typical fashion- months of rehearsal followed by a shaky debut performance. In this case, the Gin Blossoms debuted on Christmas night 1987.
The lineup would change but the band that night featured Jesse Valenzuela on vocals, Doug Hopkins on guitars, and Bill Leen on Bass.
By May 1988 the band solidified under the more familiar line-up, with Robin Wilson taking over as lead vocalist, Jesse moving over to guitar and vocals, Hopkins & Leen reprising their roles, and Phillip Rhodes joining as the band’s new drummer. A relentless touring schedule quickly earned them Best Rock Band honors in a Phoenix New Times Reader’s Poll. That award in turn, landed them a much-coveted spot at the South By Southwest Music Conference in March of 1989. Interest in the band increased after they independently released, ‘Dusted’. The twelve-song tape featured early versions of „Hey Jealousy“ and „Found Out About You“ and soon earned them a review from the College Media Journal that dubbed the band, ‘The Best Unsigned Band in America’. The spring of 1990 saw the Gin Blossoms sign with A&M Records, where they would begin work on their debut album.
The first sessions resulted in half an album being scrapped and the band wondering if they were still signed. After the failed attempt, A&M let the band cut an EP on their own in hopes of rekindling the spark on ‘Dusted’, that had been missing from the recent recordings. The ‘Up And Crumbling’ EP was released in 1991 and was followed by an extensive tour. Once again the band was ready to tackle their first album, only this time with veteran Memphis producer, John Hampton.

"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.

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.
