Gin Blossoms to rock Apple Store SoHo tonight
Apple's flagship store in SoHo will be closing its second-floor Genius Bar at 7:00 p.m. to prepare for a special performance by the Gin Blossom, which is due to take place between 8:00 to 9:00 pm.
The Tempe, Arizona-based band released three albums and had several Billboard Top 25 hits, including "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You," and "Til I Hear It From You," before breaking up in 1997.
After reuniting in 2002, the group began work on their fourth album, "Major Lodge Victory", which was released about three weeks ago.
Apple's flagship location on Fifth Avenue, just a few minutes north of the SoHo store, is also a frequent host of music events. The 24-hour store earlier this month hosted a live Midnight Mix by Ali Shaheed, a popular DJ from the musical group A Tribe Called Quest.

Sweet. Nothing like a washed up band that sucked in the first place

Gin Blossoms in concert!
because we needed a band with a fanbase less than our fire code occupancy, we think we pulled it off.
One step up from the county fair I guess. Not quite as humiliating as Hootie playing at a local Wal-Mart though.
