The Goo Goo Dolls will perform at DeVos Performance Hall Sunday, May 9, 2010 at 7:30 p.m.

Since forming in 1986, the Goo Goo Dolls have evolved from a scrappy punk-influenced trio into the platinum-selling, chart-topping act behind such radio staples as "Name," "Iris," "Slide," and "Here is Gone."

John Rzeznik and Robby Takac are the bands two leading front men. They are proud to be still working together and collaborating on new music. "One of the things that we've managed to do -- as simply put as possible – is stay together," Takac says. "That's awfully difficult for a lot of bands."

The Goo Goo Dolls also have put in plenty of work, releasing more than seven albums, and not only survived but also thrived over two decades, a milestone that hasn't gone unnoticed by fans.
Fans will notice that by listening to the band’s last album “Let Love In,” it's apparent that Rzeznik isn't only sharing his own feelings; he's tapped into consciousness to such an extent that some of the Goo Goo Dolls' songs have become anthems. "Better Days" for example, a song from “Let Love In,” carries so much power and empathy it was adopted by CNN as an anthem of sorts for the recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina.

The Goo Goo Dolls are also planning to release a new album this year entitled “Something for the Rest of Us.”
