Travel Info What is blue october? Travel Tips Blue October is a rock band originally from Houston, Texas. The band is best known for the singles "Hate Me" and "Into the Ocean" from the album Foiled. The band was formed in 1996 and currently consists of Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals), Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, vocals), C.B. Hudson (guitar), and Matt Noveskey (bass guitar). Blue October was formed in 1996 by lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld, his brother, drummer Jeremy, multi-instrumentalist Ryan Delahoussaye, later joined by guitarist/vocalist CB Hudson and bassist Matt Noveskey. Managed by Justin and Jeremy's parents under the name "RoDan Entertainment", Blue October released their first album, The Answers, in 1998, a well-received debut which sold over 5,000 copies in Houston alone.[1] Due to a fan-based connection with the local ABC network television affiliate, Blue October was able to schedule an early-morning news performance 鈥?the band's first live television performance. Blue October caught the attention of the major record labels, and in 1999 was signed to Universal Records for the release of their second album Consent to Treatment. For a variety of reasons, the band was dropped by Universal Records in 2002. Ironically, the band's third album History for Sale 鈥?re-released on Universal, due to larger than expected album sales with label Brando Records 鈥?is largely a response to the control the label placed on the group during the Consent to Treatment production process.[2] Blue October received a larger audience as their single "Calling You", featured on the American Wedding movie soundtrack, begin to get radio play in Dallas, TX. The band was invited to play at a large radio produced annual concert known as Edgefest. Later hits off of History for Sale included "Inner Glow" and "Razorblade". However, "Calling You" remained the group's largest mainstream success until their 2006 single "Hate Me", which peaked at number two on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. The music video for "Hate Me" debuted on VH1, later making a splash at number thirteen on VH1's user-controlled video countdown show VSpot Top 20 Countdown; it eventually peaked at number twelve for the week ending on May 5, 2006. The band's latest album, entitled Foiled, was released on April 4, 2006. The band made their network television premiere on April 14, 2006, performing "Hate Me", the first single from Foiled on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 28, 2006. "Into the Ocean", the second single from the album impacted radio on July 17, 2006 and the video for the song debuted at number three on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown during the show's final week of 2006. As a result of reaching a new audience that Blue October has found with its Foiled album, Blue October has recently undergone an expansion of its tour locations. Originally restricted to Texas and parts of the Midwest and Southwest United States, Blue October is now touring major locations covering the entire United States, in addition to adding locations in Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, England, Germany and the Netherlands to their schedule. On November 14, 2006 Blue October opened for the Rolling Stones in Boise, Idaho. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/blue_octobe... Other Travel Tips |
