SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY COLORED VINYL RELEASE OF DIZZY UP THE GIRL OUT NOW

Multi-platinum, four-time GRAMMY-nominated rock band Goo Goo Dolls premiere a live version of their 2x Certified Platinum hit single “Name”. The live rendition appears on their forthcoming album Live At The Academy, which is set for release onOctober 20 via Warner Records. Fans can pre-order a 3LP or 2CD set of Live At The Academy HERE and purchase an album T-Shirt HERE. Listen to/share a live rendition of “Name” as well.

On November 21, 1995, the rapidly ascending three-piece traveled to New York City for CMJ Music Marathon. On the eve of what would be their biggest show in New York at that time, the group delivered a stripped-down soundcheck performance for Tom Calderone’s radio station “Dare to be Different” on 92.7 FM, which was mixed and recorded by legendary producer Jerry Finn (Blink-182, The Offspring). Not only was it the first time the trio had ever recorded a live show, but it was their debut acoustic performance in front of a live audience. Both the soundcheck performance and the group’s show at The Academy captured a special moment in their blossoming career. 

This past Friday also marked the 25th anniversary of the Goo Goo Dolls’ iconic record Dizzy Up The Girl. In celebration of the 25th anniversary, fans can purchase a limited edition reissue HERE, which is pressed on metallic silver vinyl. 

Dizzy Up The Girl catapulted the band into mainstream success, selling over 6 million copies worldwide. The album has gone 5x Certified Platinum in the U.S. and features 5 top 10 singles, including hit songs such as “Iris” (4 GRAMMY-nominations, 8x Certified Platinum, over 1 billion Spotify streams), “Slide” (3x Certified Platinum, 240 million Spotify streams) and “Black Balloon” (Certified Platinum, 65 million Spotify streams). Fans can also watch/share remastered music videos of “Iris” HERE, “Black Balloon” HERE, “Dizzy” and “Broadway”.

This weekend Goo Goo Dolls will wrap their extensive run of U.S. tour dates, which included performances from special guests O.A.R. and Fitz and the Tantrums. The Big Night Out Tour featured career-encompassing sets that showcased songs from the band’s recent album Chaos in Bloom and other hits from their complete discography.
