Barenaked Ladies, as They Are!

Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies formed in 1988 in the suburbs of Toronto, creating a unique, carefree, fun and comedic song style that has brought them international success. Originally elementary schoolmates, singer/songwriters Steven Page and Ed Robertson, debuted as a duo on a lark after Robertson's cover band broke up and he had to fill a spot in a battle of the bands. Their second gig, as opening act for a local band The Razorbacks, was similarly improvised, resulting in a style that's continued to infect their live shows today. The duo released their first tape, Buck Naked, in 1989 and soon were opening for the popular comedy group Corky and the Juice Pigs. Their first success came with a video of the band performing "Be My Yoko Ono" in a video booth, which was aired on television and significantly increased the band's popularity. At this point, Tyler Stewart had joined the band on drums, moving Andy to keyboards and the 1991 release Yellow Tape, a demo that was rejected by all of Canada's major labels, became a popular commodity at their live shows, eventually becoming an official release and selling 100,000 copies.Their debut album, 1992's Gordon, launched the band to superstardom in Canada, and included the hits "Enid," "If I Had $1,000,000" and "Brian Wilson." It also spawned the tradition of fans throwing Kraft Macaroni & Cheese at the band during "If I Had $1,000,000." While popular in Canada, fame in the US eluded the band until their third album, Born On a Pirate Ship, spawned the popular singles "Shoe Box" and "The Old Apartment." Their mainstream breakthrough, however, was 1998's Stunt and the ubiquitous radio hit "One Week." Sadly, as Stunt climbed the charts, keyboardist Kevin Hearn was diagnosed with leukemia and missed most of the supporting tour as he recovered. After releasing the hits "Pinch Me" and "Another Postcard (Chimps)" on their following two albums, the band released the independent Barenaked for the Holidays in 2004 and are planning to release their next album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me, in fall 2006.
While "One Week" remains the band's most popular song to date, the Barenaked Ladies have recorded a plethora of fun, witty and emotional tracks over the past 17 years. Each album contains numerous catchy ditties, but it's their live shows that have gained them an enormous loyal fan-base. Paige and Robertson's improvisation in each show as well as their unexpected medlies of covers blended with their own songs creates a unique concert-going experience each and every time. It's incredible to listen to Paige's surprisingly versatile, operatic voice mixed with Robertson's fast-talking riffs, which he even references on the track "Testing 1, 2, 3" from Everything to Everyone. Without any pretensions or angst in their lyrics, BNL's bubble gum sound continues to be a fun, fresh sound whenever it appears on the radio.
