Nowhere to sit
by Rocky on 2/1/24Jannus Live - St PetersburgThe concert itself was okay, but the venue really sucked. There was nowhere to sit and everybody was just smashed up against everybody else and it was miserable.

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.

They were awesome, would absolutely see them again.
Lived everything about this concert!!!! We had such a great time and rocked out EVERY minute!
Did not disappoint me, all the bands were excellent, Dolly Rots and Lit was awesome!
This was my first time seeing Bowling For Soup live and had such a good time. The guys were having fun on stage which made it that much more enjoyable to watch. It was like a greatest hits show which was nice as I was a casual fan, but after this show I am a much bigger fan. The opening bands The Dollyrots and Lit were fantastic. It felt like Lit had a take no prisoners attitude when they played, which was awesome.
It was a great show and glad I traveled to go to this venue instead of one in south Florida. Hard rock was spacious, clean, not smoky, had snacks and easy bar to access. All the bands were great and bowling for souls played my favorite song “Emily” that they don’t always play. Security was good and people were respectful.
So I went because back in the day I liked Bowling For Soup. When their songs come on I still jam out to them. But honestly I just think it wasn't my scene, I'm more into the heavier shows. And they talked way too much for me... I wasn't there for some guys doing stand up I was there to listen to the music...
The concert was great. All three bands were sensational. I'd never seen the Dollyrotts before and was delighted by their performance. What a great band! Lit and BFS were terrific, as always.
Such a fun show lit put on a great show and then bowling for soup were hilarious and great on stage
Bowling For Soup put on an excellent show, as well as the Dollyrots. Lit was ok, but they were very loud compared to the other acts and just seemed a bit off. We brought our kids and they absolutely loved the concert!
