They’ve played Call the Office and they’ve played Budweiser Gardens.

But when Buffalo’s Goo Goo Dolls return to downtown London in 2014, it will be at the London Music Hall for a Feb. 20 gig, promoters announced Wednesday.

Goo Goo Dolls’ signature hit Iris placed No. 1 in a Billboard Top 100 for 1992-2012. But in 2013 all they seem to hear about Iris is that U.S. pop superstar Taylor Swift had been performing it in her concerts. So. Is it a big deal?

“Apparently, it's a pretty big deal because a lot of people bring it up. You know, Beyonce’s covered some of our songs, too -- that doesn't seem to get as much coverage,” bassist Robby Takac said in a Free Press interview.

The band was founded in Buffalo in 1986 and often played London early in its career. Back in the day, the Goo Goo Dolls’ bassist celebrated a birthday at an iconic downtown London club -- and his Buffalo bandmates made him feel special. “Omigawd -- that was years ago. We played at Call the Office actually,” he said in a telephone interview earlier this year.

“It was my birthday. They let me play six-string guitar which I don’t think has ever happened since.”

The year of that on-stage party has faded, but it was a Sept. 30 sometime 15 years or more ago. A Londoner who wished he’d been there said the urban myth has Takac playing an Alice Cooper song once he got a grip on that guitar. “You are exactly correct. I played Eighteen -- but I wasn't 18,” he said.

More details on the Feb. 20, 2014, gig at the 185 Queens Ave. London Music Hall complex are expected soon.
