EPISODIUM
In the spring of 1990, five diversely talented musicians with small town roots banded together in the heart of LA's Glam rock scene. Within months of forming, Blind Melon signed on with Capitol Records and dubbed the next big thing in Rock and Roll. Thrust into the spotlight by their charismatic front man Shannon Hoon and his wild on-stage and off-stage antics, Blind Melon lived up to the hype in the summer of 1993. Their quirky video featuring an irresistible dancing bee girl shot their single "No Rain" to number three on the charts and their debut album to multi-platinum sales. But their reign on success would crumble as the band endured the endless on again, off again cycle of Shannon Hoon's drug addiction which would ultimately lead to his death in 1995. In the wake of Shannon's death, Blind Melon called it quits while reflecting on what could have been.
