Bowling for Soup started life as a punk-pop outfit in 1994. The original line-up consisted of Jaret Reddick, Chris Burney, Erik Chandler and Gary Wiseman. However, it was 1997 before the band's popularity really grew. In 1998 they released their debut EP, Tell Me When To Whoa!, as well as their first album, Rock On Honourable Ones!!!. These landed them their first major record deal. It wasn't until 2000 that they released their first major album, Let's Do It For Johnny!. This was followed in 2002 by Drunk Enough To Dance. The single “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” received a Grammy nomination.
Further albums include Hangover You Don't Deserve in 2004, Goes to the Movies in 2005 and The Great Burrito Expedition in 2006. They released two albums in 2009: Sorry For The Partyin' and Merry Flippin' Christmas Vol 1. 2011 saw the release of Fishin' For Woos and the second volume of Merry Flippin' Christmas. The band released a collaborative album in 2012, One Big Happy, along with Patent Pending and the Dollyrots. Their 12th studio album, Lunch. Drunk. Love. was released in 2013. Bowling for Soup celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2014 with the recording of a covers album along with the re-recording of their Greatest Hits album.
Throughout their career, Bowling for Soup have toured extensively. During 2006 and 2007 they performed across the world in conjunction with Army of Freshmen. The band performed a number of acoustic shows as part of their 2010 tour. Their 2013 European tour was billed as a farewell visit to the continent.
Bowling for Soup have written music for two Disney productions. I Melt With You was featured on the movie Sky High and “Today is Gonna Be A Great Day” was the theme song for the Phineas and Ferb series. They also performed the theme song for Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and wrote music for the film Max Keeble's Big Movie. During the band's history they have worked with various other songwriters and musicians. Jaret Reddick co-wrote and performed on Junior's single “She's So Amazing.” He also performed on MC Lars' single “Download This Song.” Lesley Roy sang on the band's single “Much More Beautiful Person.”
Throughout their career, Bowling for Soup have toured extensively, bringing crowds to capacity at Summit (Denver) and other similar venues all across the nation.
BFS always puts on an amazing show-I really enjoyed! Highly recommend seeing them if you can!
I've been listening to Bowling for Soup for +20 years and they are still as great as they ever were!!!!!! Always an A+ performance.
This was an amazing show from the opening to main acts! The artist were engaging with the crowd and were unapologetically themselves-which I truly enjoyed. I would 100% see them again.
Bowling For Soup always put on a great show. They are not only wonderful musicians - they're hilarious to boot. If you're looking for live music with a side of comedy this is a band to see!
If you have a chance to see Bowling for soup, do it! You won't be disappointed. They are fun, energetic and worth the price of admission
1st bfs show live. Vip totally worth it! BFS KICKED asssss live. Missed seeing Chris burney. The puppet jaret brought out was definitely sweet. I knew almost every song. and I made jarets fb/ig!! ?????? . The only thing I didn't like was wheatus. Their main singer freaked me out, i mean like him in general. I did like matt though he was entertaining. don't panic was ok. Me being a 90s boy band fan. but that dude was just weird. BUT any ways. 9/10 definitely. ????????????
Loved the show!! Was able to get up close to the band and hear everything really well. The opening band, Don’t Panic, was amazing! Didn’t care much for Wheatus, but still a great show!
Wife and I had never been to Aura before. Let me tell you what…this show was STELLAR! Venue was great! Perfect size, bit bigger than The Station was but smaller than State Theatre. Don’t Panic was awesome as was Wheatus and the. The show was followed out with BFS! Best choose we’ve made!
What an amazing show! First time seeing the opener, Don’t Panic, and they were great. Wheatus was awesome as always!! Bowling for Soup was amazing; what an amazing 18+ song set! Had a fun time all around!
The show in Portland, Maine was awesome. I really enjoyed seeing Bowling for Soup sing all there hits. Getting to see Wheatus was a bonus, and I learned of the opener, Don’t Panic, who I am now a fan of. The show was amazing start to finish. Can’t wait to see all these bands in the future. Highly recommend- it slapped!
