Goo Goo Dolls tickets are on sale and going fast for the band’s shows. The Goo Goo Dolls has its roots in Buffalo, New York. In 1986, friends John Rzeznik, Robby Takac, and George Tutuska decided to form a band that offered people an alternative to the pop music that failed to speak to the average person. Inspired by artists such as The Replacements and Paul Westerberg, the Goo Goo Dolls condemned the idea of the “American Dream,” blaming it for the general malaise found in American youth.

Their first three albums, Goo Goo Dolls (1987), Jed (1989), and Hold Me Up (1990) were criticized for sounding too much like The Replacements. In the fourth album, Superstar Car Wash (1993), the band developed more of a unique sound with the single “We Are the Push” getting considerable air-time on independent and college based radio. In 1995, the original drummer, George Tutuska, was kicked out of the band due to disputes over royalties and was replaced by Mike Malinin who has been the drummer ever since.

With the release of its fifth album, A Boy Named Goo (1995) the Goo Goo Dolls earned a spot in mainstream music, with the single “Name” boosting the album to double-platinum success. Then, in 1998, the band was commissioned to write a song for the movie “City of Angels” starring Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. The result was “Iris” and the song was an instant hit, reigning supreme at number 1 on the Billboard charts for 18 consecutive weeks, creating a record that still stands today. The song was included on the band’s sixth album, Dizzy Up the Girl (1998), and the Goo Goo Dolls has released 3 albums since then: Gutterflower (2002), Let Love In (2006), and Something for the Rest of Us (2010). The band is currently working on its next album, which is expected to debut in 2012. Until then, Goo Goo Dolls tickets for their last two shows are going fast, so fans should buy Goo Goo Dolls tickets now, before they are all sold out.
