If they weren't already, Stephan Jenkins and his bandmates in Third Eye Blind are certainly living something of a charmed life these days.

Three singles off the San Francisco band's debut album, Third Eye Blind, have landed in the top 20 on the Billboard charts -- including their breakthrough song "Semi-Charmed Life" -- and the band's recent year-long tour included opening for mega acts such as the Rolling Stones, U2 and the Foo Fighters, as well as playing alongside fellow Bay Area band Smash Mouth.

But Third Eye Blind are not resting on their laurels: Frontman/singer Jenkins announced on Friday plans for a summer tour, having finished their current tour in San Jose, Calif., this past weekend. And this time, Third Eye Blind will be the headliners.

Following that, they will go back into the studio by February to record another album to be released next year.

Speaking online at a SonicNet online chat last Friday night, Jenkins revealed the name of the tour: "The Bonfire Tour," which he said will have the band playing larger venues than past performances.

"We didn't know so many people wanted to see us," said 29-year-old Jenkins, explaining why the band's past tour had fans squeezed into small clubs. "This summer, we will be playing amphitheaters, but we will try and keep it as intimate and intense as the small shows have been."

Despite Third Eye Blind's success at touring (the band opened up for Oasis in 1996, even before it had inked a record deal), Jenkins said it was still a thrill for him to watch fans outside the clubs, geared up in anticipation of seeing his power-pop band perform songs off their self-titled debut album, including the hits "Semi-Charmed Life," "Graduate" (RealAudio excerpt) and "How's It Going To Be." "The personal connection that we have made with the fans has been the most profound thing that has happened to me this year," Jenkins said. "And almost every night a little piece of magic happens. I feel very lucky to be part of that."

Also in the works is a possible Third Eye Blind contribution to an upcoming Clash tribute album, which is scheduled for an Aug. 25 release on Epic. Ice Cube, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Cracker are just a few of the bands that have already signed onto the project to honor the pioneers of punk. "We haven't decided yet if we are doing 'Train in Vain [Stand By Me]' or 'Somebody Got Murdered,' and our record label hasn't even decided if they will even let us play," Jenkins said. "But we hope they do because the Clash is one of our biggest influences. We love the raw quality of their playing and the sense of experimentation and lack of pretense in their music. They are one of the only bands I think successfully combined politics and music."
