It felt like the beginning of a fight, Reid describes. By morning, the entire tour was cancelled. The show was inevitably pulled and the band drove down to Portland for their next gig. Reid remembers walking around with his bandmates, the city feeling empty and eerie like a ghost town. In March of last year, Third Eye Blind flew to Seattle to kick off their Screamer Part 2 Tour. Our Band Aparte makes obvious parallels to the pandemic, as well, with the past year and a half quite literally keeping the Bay Area fivesome from each other. Frontman Stephan Jenkins filmed it in New York with David Wexler, who directed the group’s 2020 documentary Motorcycle Drive By. An upcoming music video for the record’s opening track, “Goodbye to the Days of Ladies and Gentlemen,” is the most direct representation of that inspiration, Kryz Reid, the band’s guitarist, tells RANGE.
It is referenced in the title, of course, and the dance is depicted on the cover, showing three women in motion (the one in the middle even sporting a fedora like Karina does). The Godard film also inspired Third Eye Blind’s new album, Our Bande Apart, serving as a jumping off point for its art and aesthetic.
