July 25, 2002 — Third Eye Blind will be completing their third album, Crystal Baller, this summer on the road. "Weezer put the idea into our heads that we might tour in advance of an album so we're bringing our recording gear with us in hopes of catching the live feeling that we crave," says Jenkins.

The group recently constructed its own studio in San Francisco, Mourningwood, to record Crystal Baller. Jenkins says, "Having our own environment has freed us up creatively and I think it shows on the tracks. It has been such a pleasure I wish we could make a double album."

Since emerging out of their native San Francisco in the late '90s, Third Eye Blind have sold close to eight million records. Jenkins says it's the joy of touring that compels them to go out on the road this summer.

The band will be joining the Goo Goo Dolls on tour, which kicks off on 7/29 in Phoenix, AZ. The CD is slated for October release.
