If you only know Blind Melon for "No Rain," you really don't know the expanse of their musical abilities.
One of my favorite groups in the mid-90s, the band hit an abrupt halt after the overdose of singer Shannon Hoon.
Now, the band has reformed with a new singer, Travis Warren, and hit the road in early October. They'll stop by Tremont Music Hall at the end of November.
I've got an interview with guitarist Rogers Stevens tomorrow - keep an eye out for the story in Creative Loafing in the coming weeks.
At a recent gig in Chicago, Hoon's 12-year-old daughter joined the band on stage for "No Rain" and my favorite Blind Melon song, "Change." Gives me chills...

Rolling Stone has posted an "Almost-Impossible Rock & Roll Quiz" on their Web site.
Questions include:
- Bob Dylan has 64 cue cards in the clip for "Subterranean Homesick Blues." What's the very first one?
- How many songs on Abbey Road are credited to George Harrison?
I scored a 40. Head on over and see how you do.
It's a slow week for new music - maybe it's all building up toward closer to the holidays?
Not sure, but it looks like the only highlights for this week are a CD of rare tracks from Stevie Ray Vaughn and a new disc from Florida rockers Nonpoint.
