OCTOBER 3, 2011 - Burbank, CA - Having wrapped a three-month summer tour in support of their current album Something For The Rest Of Us, The Goo Goo Dolls have announced that they will continue touring through the fall, launching a new string of dates on October 12th in Milwaukee.

In
other Goos news, the band's blockbuster single "Iris" has soared to No.
1 on the U.K. iTunes chart after being performed by two finalists on
the British edition of The X Factor. In addition, the band's Greatest Hits
album re-entered the chart at No. 18. "Iris" has been a steady seller
in Great Britain since its original release in 1998, enjoying more than
433,000 in sales, and racking up more than 30 million views on YouTube.
The song is expected to top the U.K. Singles chart this weekend, which
would be its highest chart position ever.
"I
love the fact that young artists are inspired to sing this song. It
opened a lot of doors for us," says Rzeznik. "To see it hit No. 1 in the
U.K. and connect with a growing new audience is cool."
Finally, the band, which is singer-guitarist Johnny Rzeznik, bassist Robby Takac, and drummer Mike Malinin,
has just recorded a brand-new song, entitled "The Best Of Me," which
will be heard on an upcoming episode of CBS's hit remake of Hawaii Five-O, as well as on a soon-to-be released soundtrack album.
