The group’s 1992 debut album, “Gordon,” contained a number of hits: “Enid,” “Be My Yoko Ono,” “If I Had $1000000” and “Brian Wilson,” named after The Beach Boys member. Their 1998 album, “Stunt,” was their biggest success thanks, in part, to the single “One Week.”
Their 14th album, “In Flight,” dropped in September.
The 8,000-seat, open-air amphitheater will open Aug. 9 on the city’s north side, southeast of Interstate 25 and North Gate Boulevard in the Polaris Pointe development. Pop rock band OneRepublic will play three consecutive nights. The Aug. 9-10 shows are sold out.
