Arion Salazar (born Arion Gabriel Salazar, 9 August 1970, Oakland, California) is the former bassist for Third Eye Blind.[1] Salazar was considered to be the most connected with the fans through the internet out of all the band members. He was previously in the Fremont, California band, Fungo Mungo.
Salazar also played in a sessions band called Bullmark. While in Bullmark he composed the soundtrack for Activision's video game, Interstate '76. Vintage recording equipment and instruments were used to capture the original 1970s sound. Members of Bullmark included Bryan Mantia (Primus), Tom Coster (Santana), Jon Bendich, Les Harris and Dave Schul (Curveball).
On October 2011, after a 5 year hiatus, Kevin Cadogan posted a video of a jam session with him and Arion. Arion's appearance had greatly changed. He later posted on several fan sites letting his fans and friends know how much he appreciated the support they had lent him during his hiatus.[2]
