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.
