The Del Monte's moniker became so prolifent, that members of the band, including Doug, were referred to by their Del Monte name almost as frequently their actual name. It wasn't long before the band was the biggest thing in Tempe, playing four sets nightly at bars like Long Wongs. As the Del Montes, the band would play mostly covers and Hopkins' penned originals. Each member assumed a 'Del Monte' name, Doug's being 'Otis Del Monte'. Five brothers, all with the same mother but different fathers. Five days later, on Christmas Day they played their first gig as the Gin Blossoms at Phoenix's legendary Mason Jar.Īt the time, guitarist Richard Taylor was on parole, and to get around the issue of parole violation, the band developed an alter ego - The Del Montes.

The band played their first gig at the Edcels Attic in Tempe on Dec 20, 1987, billed as Cap'n Crunch.

Guitarist Richard Taylor and drummer Chris McCann were added to the lineup, and the Gin Blossoms were formed, taking their name from a picture of W.C Fields in the book Hollywood Babylon II with a severe case of rosacea. Unlike the previous bands, this band was set to go beyond the bars and clubs of Tempe, Arizona and become the band that Doug was to be the most remembered for on a local, national and eventually global scale.ĭoug and Bill were hooked up with Jesse Valenzuela through David McKay who had previous played with Jesse in The Photos. Once back in Phoenix, Doug formed his next band, in much the same way most of his previous bands were formed - with Bill Leen on bass.
