Blind Melon Reform; New Singer 2006-10-21 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 4 Comments | Eleven years after a heroin overdose put an end to the life of Shannon Hoon, his ex-bandmates have regrouped with a new frontman under the Blind Melon banner.
The group, most famous for their post-grunge hit 'No Rain,' initially decided to lay the name to rest with their singer, however recent developments have changed all that. Ex-Rain For Rent frontman Travis Warren met guitarist Christopher Thorn and bassist Brad Smith through a mutual friend and soon began jamming together.
It was a joke email that started the band on their road to reunion, however: "Brad wrote a fake press release and sent it to me — it was saying how we were back together and how Travis had brought us together. It was the first I'd heard of it. I called Brad and I was like, 'What do you mean? You got the band back together without me?'
"We decided to get into a room and play — we thought it would be fun," Stevens says. "I was really skeptical in the beginning about doing anything, and none of us are into doing any kind of 'nostalgia trip.' We started playing, and I knew within the first half of a song that [Warren] was nailing it. It was something about the way he did it that it immediately disarmed my skepticism."
