[] On January 17, 1996 Exploding Boy was asked to open for The Goo Goo Dolls at Alfred State College in Upstate NY. The original opening act couldn't make the gig and The Goo Goo Dolls were running VERY late. Exploding Boy were called in to "save the day" and to play for as long as possible to keep the crowd of over 3000 entertained.
