Biography
Gin Blossoms are an American alternative rock band from Tempe, Arizona, formed in 1987, known for jangling guitars and melancholic, melodic songwriting. Their 1992 album 'New Miserable Experience', written largely by guitarist Doug Hopkins, produced the hits 'Hey Jealousy' and 'Found Out About You', and 'Congratulations I'm Sorry' followed in 1996. The band split in 1997, reunited in 2002, and has since released 'Major Lodge Victory', 'No Chocolate Cake' and 'Mixed Reality' on a steady touring schedule, with Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen and Scott Johnson as the long-standing core.
