Goo Goo Dolls return with a new single “Beautiful Lie” via Warner Records, which was produced by frequent collaborator Alex Aldi (Passion Pit, Holy Ghost!) and co-written with Matt Squire (Ariana Grande, Panic! At the Disco). Listen to “Beautiful Lie” HERE and watch the accompanying David Patino-directed video.
Goo Goo Dolls’ frontman and founder John Rzeznik said about the track, “The song is a departure from our latest album ‘Chaos In Bloom’. It’s a simple song, very chill. It felt fresh to me and I hope you enjoy it.”
UK fans saw the band appear on the Christmas Day episode of the popular Channel 4 show ‘The Piano’ surprising young pianist Daniel at their Manchester show last June.
Goo Goo Dolls take their lauded live show back on the road in February with a run of headline dates in Australia and New Zealand. Full tour routing can be found below while further ticketing information can be found HERE.
Last September the band celebrated the 25th anniversary of their iconic record Dizzy Up The Girl by releasing a limited edition version of the album, which was pressed on metallic silver vinyl. Dizzy Up The Girl catapulted the band into mainstream success, selling over 6 million copies worldwide. The album has since gone 5x Certified Platinum in the U.S. and features five top 10 singles, including hit songs such as “Iris” (4 GRAMMY nominations, 8x Certified Platinum, over 1.4 billion Spotify streams), “Slide” (3x Certified Platinum, 271 million Spotify streams) and “Black Balloon” (Certified Platinum, 70.9 million Spotify streams). Fans can watch/share remastered music videos of “Iris” HERE, “Slide” HERE, “Black Balloon” HERE, “Dizzy” HERE“ and “Broadway” HERE.
Goo Goo Dolls also released Live At The Academy, showcasing their performance at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City on November 21, 1995. The live record also includes a recording of their soundcheck on Tom Calderone’s radio station “Dare to be Different,” 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.
The band capped off yet another monumental year with a performance of their track “Run All Night" on CBS' The Talk. In addition, Goo Goo Dolls and O.A.R. frontman Marc Roberge appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America over the summer for a performance of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” The band also delivered a second performance on GMA3, marking the television debut of “Run All Night.”
