Bowling for Soup announce another support. Lots of people are “stoked”

It’s now less than three months to go until Bowling For Soup are back in the UK on the How About Another Round tour and with the excitement continuing to build, BFS have another fun announcement up their sleeve for their UK friends and family.

We already know that The Dollyrots and Lacey will be supporting Bowling For Soup on their huge UK return, and we can now reveal that America’s leading pioneer of post-punk laptop rap, MC Lars, is coming onboard as well. Lars will be opening the show each night and also performing between the sets of the other bands, living up to his MC name and serving as the show’s host every evening.

Bowling For Soup’s frontman Jaret Reddick had the following to say about MC Lars joining the tour:

“I will never forget hearing “Signing Emo” for the first time. I said to our label rep, Howie Abrams, “I don’t care what I have to do, I want that kid on tour with us immediately!!! “

Lars had already been to the UK a time or two when we took him with us on the 2005 US tour…He was so young and excited about every little thing…We had him on our bus, and I am pretty sure, he saw some stuff he never thought he would see!
We would later take him out in the US and UK several times…He is now a seasoned pro, that has his shit figured out! 
I have always wanted to have a real MC at a show in the UK…When Lars and I discussed the idea and he was actually thinking the same thing….Well…We got an MC!!!
Can’t wait for February!!!”

Of course it’s also nice to hear from the man himself, so here’s MC Lars take on the news too:

“So stoked to be back on tour in the UK with the Texan brothers who helped me get started over ten years ago!  Looking forward to rambunctious, irresponsible behavior and hilarious, international hi-jinx“.
