“American rock and roll institution BoDeans sounds as fresh and engaging as ever on the band’s 14th studio album ‘4 The Last Time’…Kurt Neumann is still leading his beloved BoDeans forward with catchy guitar music that will outlast us all. You’ll be listening to this record all summer, guaranteed,” raves ROCK & BLUES MUSE (2022 Album Review of ‘4 The Last Time’). BoDeans songs have been used in various television shows including “Party of Five”, “ABC News”, “NBC Monday Night Football”, “The Simpsons”, “Northern Exposure”, “Dawson’s Creek” and many others. Their songs have been in movies such as “The Color of Money”, “The Player”, “Opportunity Knocks”, “Heavyweights” and many others. BoDeans now reside in a small group of bands that have managed to survive the ups and downs of the industry, remaining true to their sound and their style, for over 35 years. BoDeans have a permanent installation at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland.
Long known as one of the best live acts in the business, BODEANS continue to tour year round and continue to deliver amazing, high energy, performances! BoDeans signed their First recording contract with Slash/Warner Brothers Records in 1985 and their First record, 'Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams' was released May, 1986. In the 36 years that followed, BoDeans have released 13 acclaimed studio albums with ten records that hit the Billboard Top 200 Chart, and numerous singles on the Mainstream Rock, Top 40 and Triple A Radio Charts. Chart topping songs like "Fadeaway", "Only Love", and "Dreams" won them Rolling Stone Magazine's Readers Poll for "Best New American Band" in 1987, and they were part of a small contingent of bands that inspired a new radio format known as Adult Alternative. FOX Television used the song "Closer To Free" as the opening theme of their hit TV show, "Party of Five," which became the band's biggest hit, peaking at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
