(Texas City, Texas – ) – Grammy-nominated alternative rock band Bowling for Soup will take the stage at Lagoonfest Texas Friday, July 16, at the venue, 3240 Lago Mar Boulevard in Texas City.
The high-energy band first achieved fame in 2003 after they were nominated for a Grammy Award for “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” in the “Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group” category. In 2004, their album “A Hangover You Don’t Deserve” was ranked among the Top 40 albums and the song “1985” on that album reached No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Younger concert attendees might recognize them as the voices behind the introduction to the Disney Channel TV show Phineas and Ferb and the vocal theme for Sonic Unleashed.
“Bowling for Soup is a fun band people of all ages will love,” said Uri Man, Chief Executive Officer of The Lagoon Development Company. “We look forward to rocking out with them. It’s such a great way to cap off the day that we are offering 25 percent off the price of admission to full-day or afternoon tickets to Lagoonfest Texas allowing so they can enjoy water activities and the full lagoon experience prior to the show.”
