Hey, do you remember the 1990s? That Roger Klotz, what a…um…klotz. Anyway, I hope you do because all of your favorite musical acts from the Tamagotchi Decade will be on tour this summer! (Quickly Read Disclaimer: Actsmaynotactuallybeyourfavorite.) We’ve already covered Summerland 2012, featuring the era-defining talents of Everclear, Gin Blossoms, Lit, Marcy Playground, and Sugar Ray, as well as Blues Traveler’s tour with Barenaked Ladies and Cracker. But what about: Spin Doctors? Eve 6? Fastball? RIGHT SAID FRED???
Well, they’re all still around, and will be on the road in the upcoming months, playing their great hit for you. And if you’re wondering whether I’m being sarcastic, I don’t even know anymore, man. Cowabunga!

They don't have any upcoming tour dates, but look at Semisonic's website:






Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger is a no-brainer.
Don’t forget Gin Blossoms. They still tour as well. Saw them last year at BB Kings. They were great.
They’re on the first post, and one of the few bands here I actually still like.
Yo imma let you finish, but Self Esteem was The Offspring’s best song of all time. OF ALL TIME!
YO WHEN AND WHERE IS JODECI PLAYING
Ironically, Live doesn’t have any tour dates listed. Though they do have this Wikipedia photo:

Edwin McCain is the only one that’s not ironically or non-ironically defensible in my book.
I’ve seen Collective Soul – really good show. Still want to see the Offspring.
Random fact: The dude from Semisonic wrote a big chunk of that Adele album.
Garbage and Cake are touring this summer. I saw them both last week in Dallas.
