The BoDeans are a rock and roll and roots rock band formed in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1983 by Kurt Neumann (vocals & electric guitar) and Sam Llanas (vocals & acoustic guitar). In 1985, after adding a drummer and a bassist, the band signed a contract with Slash/Warner Records and recorded their first album. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band had several singles in the top 40 "mainstream rock" charts. In the mid-1990s, the band had two top 10 songs in the "Adult contemporary" charts.

In 2001, the 17-song compilation The Best Of BoDeans - Slash and Burn was released on London/Slash/Rhino. In 2004 they returned with new songs on Resolution released on Rounder/Zoe. A live album released in 2005, is Homebrewed: Live from the Pabst. The group released the DVD for Homebrewed: Live from the Pabst at the end of 2005. In January 2006, Bob Griffin left the band for unknown reasons.

It has been announced that a new CD would be released in March of 2008. It will consist of 12 tracks, and will be entitled, "Still." The song "Pretty Ghost" from the new album "Still," became a single as of February 12, 2008. It has been confirmed the new album will be out on March 4, 2008. It has also been announced that the band is lining up tour dates, along with a radio tour, and will be posted on their official website, as well as the band's MySpace page when they are all confirmed. The band recently appeared on the Minneapolis/St. Paul-area radio station Cities 97's "Studio C" program, and Artist Interviews podcast. They confirmed some tour dates in the podcast, and played three songs, "Good Things," and two new songs, "Round Here Somewhere," and "Hearing." They were also interviewed, and had a Q&A about the new album.
