It was twenty-three years ago today that No Doubt played their first official gig at Fender’s Ballroom in Long Beach,CA:
After several raucous party performances, No Doubt play their first “official” gig at Fender’s Ballroom in Long Beach, California; the band was second on a bill of 14 with The Untouchables headlining. Tony, a high-school junior, was one of several hundred people watching. Shortly thereafter, he tries out. Band accepts him even though he’s never been in a band, has long hair and is wearing Mexican sandals. By the summer, Tony, an organized perfectionist, becomes the band’s unofficial manager -from nodoubt.com
If only we had some photos and videos from this performance.A very Happy Anniversary to ND-here’s to many,many more years of awesome shows 😀
