PORTLAND, ME- April 22, 2010, the world wide known alternative rock band, Third Eye Blind, played an amazing show in the Merril Auditorium in Portland, Maine.A band called The Upwelling, from New York City played as the opening act.
Third Eye Blind was established in 1990, in San Francisco. They have recorded five, well known albums over the past 20 years. In early 2000, after the release of their Blue album, the band terminated their lead guitarist, Kevin Cadogan. This caused the former songwriter and guitarist to sue the band on ten counts: including fraud, breach of contract, wrongful termination and violations of the Lanham Act. The lawsuit ended in 2002 with a settlement of an unknown [to public] amount paid to Kevin. The replacement guitarist was Tony Fredianelli, who played with the band until 2010, and is also filing a lawsuit against Third Eye Blind members for lack of payment and credit for songs on the new album. So now, the band is ready to rock, going on a worldwide tour this spring, with their third new lead guitarist, Kryz Reid, a musician from Dublin, Ireland, and a new album released in 2009 named Ursa Major.
The concert was a hit in the small city of Portland, Maine. The band played some of their most famous singles such as Semi-Charmed Life, Graduate, Losing a Whole Year, and Jumper from their 1997 album Third Eye Blind, And continued the show playing songs such as Anything and Never Let You Go from their Blue album released in 1999 and finished up their set with several songs from their newest album, Ursa Major, like One in Ten, Don't Believe a Word and Bonfire.
Third Eye Blind has a few more tour dates in the States, until May 5, when they go to Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, United Kingdom, and then back to the United States until late June, where their last concert will be in New York.
