Gin Blossoms to Perform at The Orleans Showroom June 11-12

Gin Blossoms, with mega-hits including "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You" and "Til I Hear It From You," will perform live for two nights only, June 11 and 12, each evening at 8 p.m.

Gin Blossoms launched popular band on the local front in Tempe, Arizona, and were chosen as the "city's best rock band" by readers of the Phoenix New Times and qualified to perform at the well-regarded South by Southwest Music Festival in 1989. Later that year, College Music Journal dubbed them the "Best Unsigned Band in America" and invited them to play MTV's New Music Awards in New York City.

Within the next two years, their music was heard around the world and they were charting on Billboard. Their first major label release was 1991's Up and Crumbling and the 1992 multi-platinum selling New Miserable Experience, featuring the single "Hey Jealousy," which peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Four more singles from this album followed, including "Mrs. Rita," "Allison Road," "Until I Fall Away" and "Found Out About You," the latter of which hit No. 1 on the Modern Rock chart. The 1995 single, "Til I Hear It From You," which appeared on the soundtrack for the film Empire Records, hit No. 3 on the Adult Pop chart.

Congratulations I'm Sorry, released in 1996, was the Blossom's final original album of the decade spawning two hit singles, "Follow You Down," which spent ten weeks in the Top Ten and "As Long As It Matters," which earned the group a Grammy nomination for "Best Performance by a Duo or Group." The album debuted in Billboard's Top Ten and a year of touring helped the album reach platinum status.

The group then took a lengthy hiatus before embarking on an eighty-date US tour in 2002 and then releasing a new album, Major Lodge Victory in 2006. Their latest album, No Chocolate Cake, was released in September 2010.

Showtime is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $29.95, plus tax and convenience fees, and can be purchased by calling the Box Office at 702.365.7075 or visiting www.orleanscasino.com.
