No Doubt: Early Years
In 1986, Gwen Stefani, brother Eric Stefani, and John Spence – all coworkers at Dairy Queen – teamed up to form the band Apple Core. With Eric Stefani on keyboards and John Spence and Gwen Stefani providing vocals, Apple Core – later changed to No Doubt – would play small gigs around Orange County, while going on a carousel of personnel changes over the years. No Doubt would disband briefly after John Spence’s tragic suicide. Eventually, Gwen Stefani took over as lead vocalist. The band would continue to foster a loyal fan following across California, and it wouldn’t be long before No Doubt’s electrifying live shows would catch the eyes and ears of a record label.
No Doubt: Debut
After inking a deal with Interscope Records in 1990, the band would release its debut album No Doubt. The album was tinged with Ska and Pop flavors, which was a stark contrast compared to the Grunge movement popular at the time. Although the album was not commercially successful, No Doubt would head out on tour, but ticket sales were less than impressive. Fans could look forward to new No Doubt material as the band started work on new material for The Beacon Street Collection, which fared better than its predecessor.
No Doubt: Tragic Kingdom
In 1995, No Doubt released Tragic Kingdom, featuring the single “Just A Girl,” which was all that the band would need to skyrocket to mainstream success. No Doubt launched a tour in support of Tragic Kingdom, and fans lined up to buy tickets to hear songs such as “Just A Girl,” “Spiderwebs,” “Don’t Speak,” and many more. Come 1997, No Doubt had notched a handful of Grammy nominations. The album soared to diamond status and is considered one of the best selling albums in music history.
No Doubt: Return of Saturn
Featuring a dark tone and more complex lyrics than Tragic Kingdom, follow-up album Return of Saturn was more of a critical than commercial success. Songs “Ex-Girlfriend,” “Simple Kind of Life,” and “Bathwater” were released as singles but were not as prominent on the radio airwaves as “Spiderwebs” or “Don’t Speak” were. Gwen Stefani also collaborated with Moby on “South Side” and Eve on “Let Me Blow Ya Mind.”
No Doubt: Rock Steady
No Doubt made a comeback with 2001 album Rock Steady, which was highly influenced by Jamaican dancehall music. Hits such as “Hey Baby” and “Underneath It All” snagged a Grammy and both climbed up the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Hella Good” and “Running” were also hits for the Pop-Rock band. Compiling its hits from Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn, and Rock Steady, No Doubt released The Singles 1992-2003. In 2004, No Doubt joined forces with Blink-182 on tour before the band went on hiatus.
No Doubt: Taking a Break
Gwen Stefani ventured into a solo career with multi-platinum album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. in 2004 followed by The Sweet Escape in 2006. No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont worked on his own solo project Invincible Overlord, while drummer Adrian Young toured with Bow Wow Wow’s 2004 trek. Fans counted down the days until No Doubt tickets would go on sale for a reunion tour.
No Doubt: Reunion At Long Last
No Doubt planned their comeback in early 2008 and scheduled a 2009 tour – the band’s first in nearly five years. While No Doubt continues to work on its upcoming album (slated for release in 2010), ticketholders won’t want to miss No Doubt on tour with the likes of Paramore, The Sounds, Janelle Monae, and Bedouin Soundclash.
