Kevin Rene Cadogan[2] (born August 14, 1970) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and guitarist.
Cadogan later attended San Francisco State University, graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in broadcast communications.
The contract directed all payments to be paid to Third Eye Blind Inc., effectively making Jenkins the sole "owner" of the band.
[9] Cadogan filed suit alleging wrongful termination, adding that his production, recording, and songwriter royalties were withheld after he was fired from the band.
Cadogan was omitted from the band's history in the biography section of the liner notes, and credit for his work was falsely given to Tony Fredianelli, the guitarist who had replaced him.
[12] (When Buckethead joined Guns N' Roses, that band already had a well-known history and numerous hit recordings with Slash as lead guitarist.)
[13] In April 2007 Cadogan, Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth and Eric Stock of Stroke 9 formed the band Radio Angel.
On December 19, 2011, Cadogan and original Third Eye Blind bassist Arion Salazar reunited for an opportunity to perform on the television program Backline.
Cadogan, Salazar, and Neve's John Stephens performed 12 of their original Third Eye Blind compositions under the new band name "XEB".
While audio recordings of this music have surfaced through the band's social media sites, Backline did not include their performance in the show.
[22] In October 2016, Cadogan & Salazar reverted to the name "XEB" when former Third Eye Blind guitarist, Tony Fredianelli, joined the band as their permanent singer.
