I was a little disappointed that The Bloodhound Gang weren't supporting BFS on their tour this time; but pleased that Zebrahead were still there!

An excellent set by BFS, with all the old favourites, plus some new ones; and as last year at the BIC the fun and jokes between songs was excellent and really set the group apart from other mainstream bands.

Good venue too, with free parking close by!!

Bowling for soup have been my favourite band for a longgg time and I was very excited when I found out they were comingnto the UK as I missed their 2006 tour.
I have to say, it was the best live performance I have ever seen! They were so full of energy and they got the crowd involved on a number of occasions. They were purely fun and they sound as good live as the do on CD.
I would reccommnd this for any true fan. It was unforgettable :)
The support bands were The Leftovers, Zebrahead and MC Lars. All absolutely amazing, but nothing can top Bolwing for Soup!

What can I say other than amazing! These guys never fail to impress live! The Soup are everything you would want from a band and more! They talk to the audience, they crack jokes, and are full of surprises! The music sounded great and I have never had such a great night!

The support bands were also perfect, getting the audience going before Bowling for Soup came on. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it! I coudln't believe how quick the night went! Great Venue Too!

For all round entertainment, Bowling for Soup can't be beaten. The witty light-hearted banter between numbers, funny song lyrics and sing-along melodies all combine to make an enjoyable and uplifting evening. As well as BFS classics like 'Girl all the Bad Guys Want', 'Punk Rock 101' and '1985', they played a great selection of somewhat surprising covers.
Camden Roundhouse was the perfect choice for the venue, easy to get to with a good atmosphere. Unfortunately I missed the first two acts soaking up the ambience of the rooftop terrace bar!

Zebrahead and Bowling For Soup on the same bill was Almost (poor pun) too good to be true but both delivered as always and the Roundhouse is a great venue. Excellent performances from both bands but particularly BFS. Great musicians but better than that, fantastic entertainers - there's never a dull moment or a duff note. BFS played the usual mix of new and old, and showing the videos as a backdrop was a great idea. The new album is tremendous and they played what will no doubt be the most popular tracks from it. If you haven't seen them before, don't miss BFS next time they're in the UK - the Get Happy Tour does exactly what it says on the tin.

I went to see them with 3 freinds, and we all agreed it was incredible. Not only was the music amazing, but they through in a few extra surprises. An excellent sense of humour, often pausing mid song to make a joke, and then continuing from where they left off at full speed (or faster) which was impressive, especially during Punk rock 101 which was played at several times the normal pace, I was having difficulty keeping up but the band didnt miss a note. The rounhouse theatre was also a great location, really easy to get to, and the gig finished at 11 which meant I had time to catch the last train home without missing anything.
If you missed it, I pity you :P

Loved it, but was disappointed by the atmosphere in the crowd
i've been to metal gigs with a friendlier crowd - obviously nothing to do with the band but i was worried by it, there was a time when people apologised for hurting you - even if they dont think you mind!

There were 4 bands at the Roundhouse in the midweek . It was too many , the gig went on too late , we left early - have to go to work next day .
Firdt band was OK , second band was rap , not too bad .
Third band Zebrahead was rap with a silent C ; they were obviously founder members of their own fanclub . They went on & on & on . All the songs were indistinguishable white noise partly due to the lousy accoustics of the Roundhouse & partly because the band was C-Rap .
The 3rd band finally remembered they weren't the headliners . Bowling for Soup then put up a recording of the singer & guitarist burbling on about a competition for ages before the band came on , did a couple of songs including "The Bitch Song" which was really good . Then started gossiping again . We left .

If I had wanted to listen to gossip & competitions I'd follow Twitter - I went to see Bowling for Soup play songs . It was only the first band & "The Bitch Song" that saved this from being a 1-star .

This was the first time I've seen Bowling For Soup live! And without a doubt, it was the best gig I've ever been to! It was so much fun and the guys were so funny! They chose some awesome support acts which were amazing in the build up to BFS, I cant really say much but AWESOME!! I'm definitely going to see them live again next chance I get! And I absolutely recommend them to any Bowling For Soup fan who hasn't yet seen them live!!
