Older, Fatter, Still the Greatest Ever: Live From Brixton
2018 live release. February 17th 2018 - the biggest night in Bowling for Soup's almost twenty five years together as a band. That evening, the band played to four and a half thousand people at London's Brixton Academy on the closing night of their most successful UK tour in their history - The Get Happy Tour 2018. Several months later, Bowling for Soup are delighted to confirm that the Brixton show was captured in all it's hilarious and entertaining glory. The Get Happy Tour 2018 saw Bowling for Soup play their iconic album Drunk Enough To Dance in full, with a selection of the band's other biggest hits like 'High School Never Ends', '1985' and 'Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day (Phineas and Ferb)'. The non Drunk Enough To Dance songs were mixed in throughout the set to keep the fans guessing at what surprises may come next - something which worked to great effect throughout the tour - and every twist and turn was captured at the Brixton Academy show for Bowling for Soup fans all around the world to enjoy.
