By the start of 1987 all of the Ten O'Clock Scholars had made their way back to Phoenix. Once back in Phoenix, Doug formed his next band, in much the same way most of his previous bands were formed - with Bill Leen on bass. Unlike the previous bands, this band was set to go beyond the bars and clubs of Tempe, Arizona and become the band that Doug was to be the most remembered for on a local, national and eventually global scale.
Doug and Bill were hooked up with Jesse Valenzuela through David McKay who had previous played with Jesse in The Photos. Guitarist Richard Taylor and drummer Chris McCann were added to the lineup, and the Gin Blossoms were formed, taking their name from a picture of W.C Fields in the book Hollywood Babylon II with a severe case of rosacea. The band played their first gig at the Edcels Attic in Tempe on Dec 20, 1987, billed as Cap'n Crunch. Five days later, on Christmas Day they played their first gig as the Gin Blossoms at Phoenix's legendary Mason Jar.
At the time, guitarist Richard Taylor was on parole, and to get around the issue of parole violation, the band developed an alter ego - The Del Montes. Five brothers, all with the same mother but different fathers. Each member assumed a 'Del Monte' name, Doug's being 'Otis Del Monte'. As the Del Montes, the band would play mostly covers and Hopkins' penned originals. It wasn't long before the band was the biggest thing in Tempe, playing four sets nightly at bars like Long Wongs. The Del Monte's moniker became so prolifent, that members of the band, including Doug, were referred to by their Del Monte name almost as frequently their actual name. Robin can still be heard yelling out 'Otis!' before guitar solos (Dream With You, Cajun Song, Hands Are Tied), and Doug is often referred to as 'Otis' in CD liners.
In March 1998 Richard Taylor was fired due to drug abuse and was replaced on guitar by Doug's skateboarding buddy Robin Wilson. A month later, Chris McCann left the group and was replaced by Dan Henzerling. Dan's time in the band was short lived, leaving the band 6 months later to join The Best Kissers In The World. Phil Rhodes was recruited as the new drummer. By this time, it'd become apparent that Valenzuela was a better guitarist, and Wilson a better singer and the pair switched roles, solidifying the Gin Blossoms lineup which that the world would come to know.
The summer of 1989 saw the Blossoms record their first independent album, Dusted. Although the album liners credit the whole band on the writing, 7 of the 12 tracks were written / co-written by Hopkins. These Hopkins' tracks include some new Hopkins' material, such as 'Lost Horizons', material ground work started on during the Ten O'Clock Scholars period, 'Hey Jealousy' and 'Found Out About You', and 'Angels Tonight', carried over from Algebra Ranch. Although hard to come by, Dusted is probably one of their earliest Hopkins recordings still available, if you look hard enough, or have the right connections.
By May 1990 the band had inked a deal with A&M Records. 1991 saw the recording and release of the EP, Up And Crumbling, which featured two Doug songs. 'Keli Richards', and 'Angels Tonight'.
The following year was bittersweet for the band, as they started work on a full length album for A&M. In Memphis during the recording of the album that became New Miserable Experience, the band's double platinum debut, Doug became despondent, drinking heavily during the sessions. Towards the end of the 2 month sessions in Memphis, Doug was sent back to Phoenix, and soon learned that he'd been fired from the band.
In August 1992, the album was released, half of which contained Hopkins material, including 4 songs penned by Doug and another 2 co-written with him. In the time between the album was recorded and released, the Gin Blossoms had recruited local Tempe guitarist Scott Johnson as Doug's replacement. The album was released with little mention of Doug, other than song writing and guitar credit, instead featuring photos of Scott Johnson as a member of the band, despite not playing on the record.
Following the release of New Miserable Experience, a heated feud between Doug and the band quickly insued. At the center of this was Doug's contribution to New Miserable Experience, raising conjecture about how much Doug played on the album. Doug publicly maintained that the majority of the guitar on the record is his. While there was never a clear resolve to that question in the media, a comparison to pre and post Hopkins recordings and performances gives a fair indication.
Initially the album had very little momentum, however 7 months later started to catch on, by the end of it's run selling over 2 million copies on the back of the first two singles Hey Jealousy and Found Out About You, both written by Doug.

Robin Wilson and Doug Hopkins recorded a number of demos acoustically on a 4 track in Robin's brother's bedroom. The actual date these songs were written / recorded is unknown. It was rumored that they were recorded in 1988, but it's more likely they were written around the time of the recording of Dusted, which was when 'Still Wondering Where Those Bastards Are' was written. The only song that was ever later re-recorded and released was the
