The band was first formed by high school friends Kurt Neumann and Sam Llanas. After realizing they both had a similar interest in music, they decided to begin writing songs together. Neumann was so serious about the two starting a band that he convinced Llanas to drop out of college and pursue their music full time. By 1983, the band had a name-Da BoDeans-and began playing around Milwaukee's East Side music scene. The next few years brought them a drummer and a bassist, and their first record produced by T-Bone Burnett. The album received favorable reviews and was even awarded the honor of Best New American Band by the readers of Rolling Stone magazine. Throughout the 80s the band experimented with different producers and tried to find what sound worked best for them. Not finding what they were looking for, the band reunited with T-Bone Burnett in the early 90s, and he helped The BoDeans produce their fifth album, Go Slow Down. The song "Closer to Free" on the album was featured as the theme song for the TV show Party of Five, and became an instant hit. The song became the band's biggest pop hit, reaching No. 16 on the U.S. Hot 100. Throughout the rest of the 90s and early 2000s, the band produced more records that garnered favorable reviews and a fiercely loyal following of diehard fans. Their newest album, American Made, narrates and celebrates life in America. And although the country has its problems, the overall theme of the album is that America is still the greatest place on Earth. With soul-stirring lyrics and amazing musical skills, the band gives fans something to cheer about. Buy The Bodeans tickets from StubHub today, and be there for every mind-blowing concert!
