Concerts & Live Music

Gin Blossoms are no one-hit wonders. They’re slow bloomers, and their story actually starts more than a decade before the release of NME, in their hometown of Tempe, Arizona.

Gin Blossoms was founded by members and longtime friends Bill Leen and Doug Hopkins whom first started playing in bands together a few years after graduating from Tempe’s McClintock High School. Doug taught Bill to play the bass, and they formed their first band, Moral Majority, in 1981. The name came after a friend joined The Moral Majority (Jerry Falwell’s conservative organization) under Doug’s name as a joke. The band’s t-shirts were the Moral Majority logo behind the international void symbol (y’know, like the no smoking signs). A big slice of American cheese’ was how the singer of this American country rock band once described their sound. Favored sons of MTV, they had earlier attracted a fierce local following after formation in Tempe, Arizona, USA, in 1987.
