Tonight I photographed Jaret and Erik from Bowling for Soup during their acoustic tour, at the Wolverhampton Slade Rooms.
It was great to see such a successful band in such a small setting. Bowling for Soup were supported by Erik Chandler and the Mulberry Street Socialites (Erik’s side project), People on Vacation (Jaret’s side project) and Linus of Hollywood. It was weird to be at a gig were two of the support acts were made up of members of the band, but you can’t fault the effort put in (especially as Bowling for Soup themselves performed a 2 hour set).
The band’s banter with the crowd was great, taking suggestions for songs to play, and joking with individual members of the audience. The tour didn’t seem that well publicised, which may or may not have been intentional – either way it was a great night.
