Rock band Third Eye Blind will become seasonal deities once again when they present the fourth edition of their Summer Gods Tour, which will include a stop at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands on August 3.

Starting on June 8, the tour will visit 37 cities over the course of two months, culminating with a three-day swing through Texas: Dallas on August 1, Austin on August 2, and The Woodlands on August 3.

They'll be joined by special guests Yellowcard and A R I Z O N A on all dates.

Third Eye Blind has previously used the Summer Gods Tour title in 2017 when they were joined by Silversun Pickups, in 2019 when Jimmy Eat World joined them on the road, and in 2022 when Taking Back Sunday was their special guest.

The band is not touring in support of any specific material, as their last album was Our Bande Apart in 2021. They have released seven studio albums dating back to 1997, selling more than 12 million records over 26+ years.

They are, however, commemorating the 25th anniversary of one of their early hits, “Jumper,” by releasing the world’s first playable .999 silver-coated and .997 karat gold-coated records. These special discs are clearly aimed at superfans, as they cost $450 for the silver version and $800 for the gold version, with a pure gold version available for an unnamed price.

Tickets for the tour will be available for presale on Tuesday, January 9 with Citi, with additional presales throughout the week. The general on-sale will begin on Friday, January 12 at 10 am at ThirdEyeBlind.com.

teamwork makes the dream work

Arizona-based interactive venue opens in Houston with 24 challenges

Physical and mental tasks are part of the fun at Bam Kazam.

Houston's live action arcade boom continues with the opening of Bam Kazam, a massive new challenge room facility located in the former Railway Heights Market space in Lazybrook/Timbergrove (8200 Washington). Opening this Saturday, September 12, it is the company's third location since starting in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2021 and the first one in Texas.

Catering to adults, the idea of Bam Kazam is to roleplay big budget cinematic adventures like solving puzzles in ancient tombs or being part of a heist. The facility contains 24 different levels across 25,000 square foot of space. Players are given up to two hours to complete rooms, with most rooms requiring between 1-5 minutes. Teamwork is key to succeeding.

“If you’ve ever watched an action movie and thought, ‘I could do that,’ well come find out,” Bam Kazam founder Victor Blake said in a statement. “Bring the friend who thinks they’re the brains and the one who thinks they’re the athlete. You’re going to need each other.”

Rooms in the Houston location include Rat Trap, where players navigate through a giant mousetrap to avoid an equally giant cat; a Cat Burglar scenario that involves rope walks to steal a priceless painting; and a ruined city full of logic puzzles inspired by the Indiana Jones franchise.

Tickets for Bam Kazam are $39 per player with a three-player minimum per team. Every possible room is available with a ticket, and players have unlimited tries per room to solve them. Tickets are half-off ($19.50) during opening weekend when purchased through the website.

Houston has been enjoying a boom in live-action themed gaming since the end of COVID. Sandbox VR opened earlier this year, following Activate debuting in the city in 2023 and the Department of Wonder in 2022.
