Bradley William Hargreaves was born on July 30, 1971 and is the drummer for the bands Third Eye Blind and Year Long Disaster. He first started playing drums around the age of 10 with a homemade drum set.
He finally saved up enough money for a real drum set at the age of 13, began lessons, and started learning jazz styles in addition to his classic rock influences. Hargreaves in the early 90s played in the Wyatt Kildow Quartet. This experimental jazz ensemble played weekly at the Tropical Haight, a Haight-Ashbury nightclub in San Francisco.
This club has evolved into the punk watering hole, Molotoff's in the modern lower-Haight district. He went on to record records with jazz artists Vijay Iyer and Liberty Ellman before joining Third Eye Blind who went on to sell 8 million records. He joined the newly formed Year Long Disaster in 2004 who released their debut self titled record in 2007 on Volcom Entertainment. He can be seen touring around the world with both Third Eye Blind and Year Long Disaster.
