GOO GOO DOLLS
Known for its smash hits like “Name,” “Iris” and “Slide,” Goo Goo Dolls have sold millions of records over the course of 20 years. Hailing from Buffalo, New York, guitarist and vocalist Johnny Rzeznik first joined forces with bassist Robby Takac and drummer George Tutuska in 1985 and styled themselves similar to The Replacements. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1987, followed by “Jed,” the follow-up in 1989. But the band started receiving traction on radio airwaves with its power-pop third album, “Hold Me Up,” in 1990.
In 1995, “A Boy Named Goo” was released and the ballad “Name” became an instant hit, soaring on the charts and leading the album to platinum sales. The band carried that momentum over through 1998 when a new ballad, “Iris,” appeared on the “City of Angels” soundtrack and became an even bigger smash hit. The iconic song spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s airplay charts and was nominated for three Grammys.
The band’s next album, “Dizzy Up the Girl,” brought singles like “Slide,” “Dizzy,” “Broadway” and the Grammy-nominated “Black Balloon” in 1998. They went on to produce seven more albums, proving their longevity in the industry. In 2022, the band released “Grounded with the Goo Goo Dolls,” a live set shot during the COVID-19 pandemic.
