Happy 25th Anniversary of No Doubt’s First Official Gig!


Happy Anniversary to No Doubt!!!! As Tony mentioned yesterday on Twitter,it was 25 years ago today,on March 14,1987,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 show! It’s so amazing and inspiring how far the band has come from that very first gig-MUCH congratulations to them on all of their hard-earned and much-deserved success!! All the fans are so incredibly thankful for everything No Doubt has given us and we look forward to even more music and memories with the new album and tour this year. Have you seen the No Doubt 25th Anniversary retrospective we posted late last year?
