ROCK: No Doubt (6/19)

By Frank De Blase on June 17, 2009

No doubt you've heard of No Doubt, one of the best pop-rock bands in recent history. That's right, band. Gwen's a doll and all, and her platinum presence makes it hard to look anywhere else on the stage, but that band is amazing. What's also amazing is the band's incredible staying power, despite the fact that it hasn't released an album of original material in eight years. To some cool kids No Doubt's huge success may detract from its street cred, but if all pop music were half this good, hipsters would have no choice but to go pop. Paramore opens.

No Doubt performs Friday, June 19, 7:30 p.m. at Darien Lake Performing Art Center. $10-$80. 232-1900.
