George Earth also played guitar on some demos. Gleeson would assist in the sessions, but eventually had a falling out with Jenkins and stopped working with the band.

Jenkins reconnected with music producer and sound engineer David Gleeson, a contact from his Puck and Natty days, to be able to record demos at professional studios, such as Skywalker Ranch. Jenkins would write and workshop early material with musician Jason Slater for years before the band started up formally, and the two would work together to record the band's first demo together in 1993. Jenkins recounted that over the span of a few years, he would recruit members, only to have them frequently dropout due to issues like drug addiction or joining other bands. Īfter the experience, Jenkins moved into the direction of starting up a rock band instead. The group broke up shortly afterwards, and while short-lived, it was in the group that Jenkin's first developed connections in the industry, and wrote the first iteration of what would become Third Eye Blind's biggest hit, " Semi-Charmed Life". The two were in talks of being signed with Capitol Records, but Jenkins did not see eye to eye on the label's views on the musical direction or what music producer they would work with, and negotiations fell through. The two managed to attract some attention from record labels - enough to get one of their few recorded songs "Just Wanna Be Your Friend" on a soundtrack for the television drama Beverly Hills, 90210. Due to legal issues from the musical group Tuck & Patti, the duo later changed their name to "Puck and Zen".
