  • "Who takes care of this page?"
  • Two people do with one of them being an ACTUAL Gin Blossom. So yes, this page is the authentic Gin Blossoms MySpace page. The "Gin Blossom" (hint: he plays the guitar and has blond hair) logs in when he can therefore he sometimes reads messages sent here.

  • "When will the Gin Blossoms come to [insert town name]?"
  • Check the tour dates section for the latest information. We try to keep it up-to-date

  • "I heard you guys are doing a private show in my town, is there any way I could get in?"
  • We're sorry but private shows are just that...."private" so please do not ask us if you can get in, etc. regarding a private show. Don't worry we will EVENTUALLY come to your town or a town near you...after all, patience is a virtue.

  • "How can I book the Gin Blossoms?"
  • Booking information can be found underneath the "Booking Inquiry Section" under the "About Gin Blossoms" area. Two booking contacts are listed there. ALSO included in that section is contact info on our PR person.

  • "How can my band open for the Gin Blossoms?"
  • It's not exactly easy nor is it hard. You would mainly have to contact the promoter/venue where the GBs are playing and ask them if your band could play with the GBs for "free." Yep, that is the magic word...FREE. Overall, it mainly depends on the promoter/venue, but be sure to use that word...FREE

  • "Can you put [insert song title] on your music player?"
  • We try to rotate the songs on there from time to time, mix in the classics with the new. So please be patient on wanting to hear a certain song you want on the player...it WILL eventually turn up on there. And songs can not be uploaded right away, they MUST be approved first. You can also find other Gin Blossoms tunes in MySpace Music. As always, thanks very much for the support!

    Please check our other pages as well since the playlists on them change on a bi-monthly basis.

    AND please don't request "Breakfast at Tiffany's" it's not even a Gin Blossoms song (it's by Deep Blue Something). Don't forget...there are also some tunes on our widgets which you can find in the "About Gin Blossoms" section.

  • "What's with spamming bulletin posts?"
  • Most people on MySpace have hundreds/thousands of friends and therefore can miss a certain bulletin post on their account. If information is posted repeatedly, it's mainly just to get the message across to others, etc. We wouldn't send bulletin posts 4 or 5 times a day like most band pages do, we just send them out on sporadic time intervals and/or we delete the original bulletin post if necessary such as re-posting a new bulletin if we forgot to include information.

       About Gin Blossoms

    .. Create Your Own

    Fueled by mega-hits including "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You" and "Til I Hear It From You," Gin Blossoms completed the classic crossover from college-circuit heroes to multi-platinum album sellers.

    The band's hometown following in Tempe, Arizona grew quickly as the band earned a great reputation as a live act. Readers of the Phoenix New Times chose them as the city's best rock band qualifying them to play at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas in March, 1989. Later that year, College Music Journal dubbed them the "Best Unsigned Band in America" and invited them to play MTV's New Music Awards in New York City.

    Major label interest quickly followed …their initial releases on A&M Records included Up and Crumbling in 1991 and the multi-platinum selling New Miserable Experience in 1992 featuring the single, "Hey Jealousy" which peaked at 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Four more singles followed … "Mrs. Rita," "Found Out About You," "Allison Road" and "Until I Fall Away." With NME having sold nearly 3 million copies in the US alone, the Gin Blossoms became a band to be reckoned with.

    Congratulations I'm Sorry, which was released in 1996, was the Blossom's final original album of the decade bringing them two more hits … "Follow You Down" which spent ten weeks in the Top Ten and "As Long As It Matters" which earned the group a Grammy nomination for "Best Performance by a Duo or Group." The album debuted in Billboard's Top Ten and a year of touring helped put the record past 1,500,000 units sold.

    The group then took a lengthy hiatus before embarking on an eighty-date US tour in 2002 and then releasing a new album, Major Lodge Victory in 2006.

    Photobucket (****on hiatus)

    If you have any Gin Blossoms show and fan pictures and would like to share it here on MySpace, feel free to send them to gin.blossoms2005@gmail.com (just an FYI: the band does not read messages sent there. The very best way to get your message to the band would be to either send a message to the MySpace inbox or leave a comment on the MySpace page *you may or may not get a response if sending mail to the MySpace inbox. So PLEASE do not send messages directed to the band at that gmail account.).

  • Don't send show pics pre-2006. When posting show pics in specific-dated blog entries, it will not let me backtrack to 2005, 2004 and 2003. Tried getting MySpace to add those years again, but nada.
  • In the email, please state the date and place of the show (if you can't remember either one, don't worry I'll try to figure it out). If they're from two shows that were in one place over two days (for example the Suncoast Hotel & Casino shows on 5/20/06 and 5/21/06), if you can, please state which pictures were from which show. It's easier to organize, etc. Only show pictures get credited not fan pictures.
  • Make sure each picture/file is less than 1.5 mb If you do NOT follow this, your pictures will not be uploaded.
  • Please DO NOT email links to your photo albums. Trying to get pictures that way can be disorganized and confusing on my part so PLEASE email them as attachments. If you can, please do it in ONE email. Thanks
  • Please make a note of it in the email how you would like to be credited (MySpace page/alias or name, etc.).
  • Some pictures MAY NOT be uploaded if they're too dark to view, I apologize ahead of time, but everyone's monitor settings are different and am just trying to accomodate everyone's viewing. PLEASE do not make them the size of thumbnails when sending them since I will make the pictures into thumbnails when I upload them into the image hosting server I use. And some may not be uploaded just because....I hope you guys can understand, thanks!
    And last but not least, please be aware the pictures will be in:

  • Thumbnails because of bandwidth.
  • To gain easy access to the blog picture entries, go to the blog entry titled "Links to the GBs Show Pictures."
    *This page is best viewed in Mozilla/Firefox and the blog entries are best viewed as individual entries..meaning don't click "View All Blog Entries"
