Goo Goo Dolls Just Want QVC Viewers To Know Who They Are

Tonight, the Goo Goo Dolls play the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C.; the concert will be aired live on television, but not on an MTV-affiliated channel:

The Goo Goo Dolls are making their QVC debut next Tuesday night to sell a specially packaged bonus material DVD and CD set three weeks before it hits stores.

The shopping network will broadcast a special behind-the-scenes interview and concert with the band live from the music venue Nightclub 9:30 in Washington, D.C.

We’re not fans of the Goos’ increasingly wan love-rock, but this is a smart move by the band. QVC exposure has been good for artists with large fanbases who may have moved on from actively finding out about new albums–last year, Barry Manilow sold 43,000 copies of The Greatest Sounds Of The Sixties during an hour-long segment on the shopping network. The question, then, is this:If more bands start clamoring for QVC airtime, will a music-only spinoff channel–with blocks hosted by Mark McGrath and Steve Harwell, natch–rise up to give VH1 Classic a run for its hits-of-yesteryear money?
