The band built upon that success, releasing albums like 1999's Blue and 2003's Out of the Vein, both which continued to earn Alternative chart attention and spawn singles like "Anything," "Never Let You Go," and "Blinded (When I See You)." After taking a break during the mid-2000s, the group returned, hitting number three on the Billboard 200 with 2009's Ursa Major and cracking the Top 20 with 2015's Dopamine. Third Eye Blind have continued to expand their sound, working with Billy Corgan on 2019's Screamer and pairing for a song with Best Coast's Bethany Consentino on 2021's Our Bande Apart.

(From www.ianbagg.com) Ian Bagg started his comedy career in his native country Canada. He proceeded to do all the show business things that every successful Canadian entertainer does. He went to a “Hockey Night in Canada” game on a Saturday night performed at the “Montreal Comedy Festival ” kissed a fish in New Foundland and a “Comedy 
Now” special on CTV. So what does a Canadian do when he has done it all? He boards a train to New York City lives in a youth hostel and ends up on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien ” “The Late Late show with Craig Ferguson” and “Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” It is not always fun and games. He was forced to do “Make Me Laugh ” “Showcase Comics with Louie Anderson ” “Fridays” on NBC and the “Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.” His new one-hour special “Ian Bagg: Getting to F*cking Know You” premiered on Showtime in April 2013.
Bagg has acted in Tim Robbins’ “The Cradle will Rock ” “MVP 2 ” and “MXP”. Fun fact: he’s the the only known comic to have worked for famed director/producer Judd Apatow and not become a 
multi-billionaire. Life has been amazing for Bagg being on such diverse platforms as the History Channel the Food Network the Biography Channel and being the first ever Canadian to meet three US presidents– Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter and George Bush…although only one was in the White House at the time while he met one on a plane and the other at a hockey practice.
