SAN FRANCISCO — Pop-rockers Third Eye Blind treated a hometown audience to a sneak preview of their upcoming sophomore album at a secret show Thursday night.

"I'll Give You Anything," a driving rocker with a harder edge than the songs on Third Eye Blind's self-titled debut, will be on their self-produced second album, according to Elektra Records spokesperson Joel Amsterdam. He said the band hopes to release the LP in November.

"We're in the midst of recording a new album about four blocks from here," frontman Stephan Jenkins said before launching into the short rock tune. Dressed in khaki pants and a black, smocklike shirt that reached below his knees, Jenkins blasted through the song's two verses, repeating the chorus phrase "anything for you."

The concert at Maritime Hall was part of the ongoing series of Miller Genuine Draft "Blind Date" shows in which contest winners are taken to a secret shows. Past Blind Date shows have featured such rockers as Foo Fighters, Hole and Stone Temple Pilots.

Groove-rockers the Afghan Whigs opened the show, mixing such originals as "Miles Iz Ded" and "Gentlemen" with snippets and covers of songs by Prince, Stevie Wonder and raunch-rappers 2 Live Crew.

Third Eye Blind took the stage around 10 p.m. and hit the several hundred fans with a few tracks from the band's self-titled 1997 debut before unveiling the new song.

The band, which also includes guitarist Kevin Cadogan, drummer Brad Hargreaves and bassist Arion Salazar, continued with metallic-pop versions of "Thanks a Lot" and "Jumper" (RealAudio excerpt). During the latter, Jenkins confronted an audience member, asking, "Do you think you can faze me? F--- you. Get the f--- out of here or I'll kick your f---ing ass."

They then played another song, "Horror Show," that may be on the new album, according to Amsterdam. It also appeared on the soundtrack to "Varsity Blues," released in January.

While relying on the same power-pop formula that drove Third Eye Blind to sales of 4 million copies, "Horror Show" also was edged with a mix of heavy-metal guitars and a bottom-heavy beat.

Other Third Eye Blind hits revisited during the show included "Losing a Whole Year," "Narcolepsy" and "How's It Going to Be" (RealAudio excerpt), in which the band included a hip-hop-flavored snippet of the Who's "Baba O'Riley." The quartet ended the set with a sludgy cover of Van Halen's "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love."

Throughout the show, several spinning logos for the show's sponsor flashed on the walls while winners who were bused in from Santa Rosa, Calif., nearly two hours north of San Francisco, lined up for free beer and pizza. Belligerent fans engaged in at least a half-dozen fights in the mosh pit.

Many seemed not to care who was onstage. "I had no idea it was going to be Third Eye Blind," Jeff Geyert, 26, of San Francisco said. Asked if he was happily surprised, Geyert said, "Whatever, man. I don't care. I'm just really f---ed up."
