Pop-Break Live: Goo Goo Dolls, Collective Soul, Tribe Society at PNC Bank Arts Center
The Goo Goo Dolls and Collective Soul may have had the majority of their tentpole hits debut in the mid-to-late ’90s, but these two stalwart touring acts are not even close to be being a nostalgia act. No, this wasn’t some lame “I Love the ’90s” bill — this was two veteran rock bands who perform with the same vitality and bravado they did when they first broke on the scene. Their songs — the new stuff, and the classics — grabbed the audience at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel for an endless sing-a-long.
The Goo Goo Dolls are currently touring to support the release of their new album Boxes, which dropped on May 6 of this year. Collective Soul dropped See What You Started by Continuing in 2015, and have plans for a new record sometime in 2017.
Opening the show was the New York-based alt band Tribe Society. Pop-Break’s Alfred Mannarino caught the bands in action.
