Eye Blind
Third
Eye Blind was created by Stephan Jenkins in the early 90's with Adrian
Burley on drums and Jason Slater on bass. The line-up shifted several times with
Arion Salazar (who was at that time in Bay Area band Fungo Mungo) on bass and
Tony Fredianelli on guitar. Kevin Cadogan joined as guitarist in late 1993.
There were two guitarists until Fredianelli left the band in 1994, to
be closer to his family in Las
Vegas. They went
through several drummers - Tim "Curveball" Wright, Steve Bowman, and
Michael Urbano - until Brad Hargreaves joined the band in 1995. Cadogan was
fired from the band on January
25, 2000 and
Fredianelli was invited back to the band as lead guitarist leaving the current
line-up as: Stephan Jenkins (vocals, guitar), Arion Salazar (bass), Brad
Hargreaves (drums), and Tony Fredianelli (guitar). http://www.thirdeyeblind.net/bioband.html
