Blind Melon is an American rock band formed in , , active from 1990 to 1999 and 2006 onward. Best remembered for their 1993 single "", the group enjoyed critical and commercial success in the early 1990s with their take on .

After releasing two charting albums on and touring extensively, the band was halted in 1995 by the of lead vocalist , going on hiatus until officially disbanding four years later. In 2006, the remaining members reunited and recruited new vocalist Travis Warren from the band Cindysbeentrippin, the band formed a project called Unified Theory before producing a fourth album, . Warren departed two years later, but again rejoined in 2010, allowing the group to return to performing and recording.

History Formation, debut, success (1990–1993)

Blind Melon formed in in March 1990 after transplants and Brad Smith, a guitarist and bassist respectively, met vocalist , a native of . Guitarist Christopher Thorn, originally from , was added shortly thereafter; the four eventually convinced drummer Glen Graham to relocate from Mississippi to complete the group after failing to find a drummer in Los Angeles. Their moniker derived from a nickname Smith had observed among Mississippi hippies, a name with precedent in the 1920s artist and the character Blind Melon Chitlin.

The band debuted with a four-song demo, The Goodfoot Workshop, in 1991. signed Blind Melon later that year and oversaw sessions with famed producer for an unreleased EP to be titled The Sippin' Time Sessions. The recordings were abandoned due to the band's dissatisfaction with the production quality, which they felt resulted in "slick and doctored" results. Hoon's friendship and association with frontman accrued additional industry attention for the group, as he provided backing vocals on several Guns N' Roses tracks on 1991's and albums, including the single "". Blind Melon embarked upon a tour supporting late that year.

At Capitol's suggestion, the band relocated to , while beginning work on what would become their with producer , known for producing 's . Sessions were held in in , , and the album was recorded mostly live with minimal overdubs. The record was released in September 1992, and initially sold poorly behind its lead singles, "" and "", until the latter became an MTV staple the following July. Promoted by a successful featuring playing the "Bee Girl", "No Rain" helped the band achieve international recognition. The album eventually attained quadruple- status, debuting in the top 40 on October 9, 1993 and peaking at No. 11 on the Hot 100.
