Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated BNL) is a Canadian independent rock band currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart, and formerly Andy Creeggan and Steven Page who left the band amicably in February 2009 to pursue solo projects. Despite Page’s leaving, the remaining members of the band assure fans that a new album will be recorded in 2009 and continue on as Barenaked Ladies. March 7th, 2009 saw their first show on stage as a foursome in Orlando Florida. Tyler Stewart’s drumset was proudly emblazoned with a “Fantastic 4” logo.
They formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, and are best known for their hit singles, “
One Week”, “Pinch Me”, “If I Had $1000000” and “Brian Wilson”, and for their light-hearted and comedic performance style. Their trademark at live shows is humorous banter between songs, and improvised raps/songs, both of which are staples at almost every concert they perform. Each member of the group is a versatile musician, as there are a lot of varied instruments, and each member (with the exception of drummer Tyler Stewart) has written and sung lead on at least one song for the band.
Indie origins
Barenaked Ladies began as the duo of Ed Robertson and Steven Page. The two had gone to school together since Robertson was in the fourth grade (Page was a grade ahead), but were not friends until they ran into each other at a Harvey’s restaurant following a Peter Gabriel concert.

As in how? I always liked his songs written by the Barenaked Ladies, especially the darker more brooding ones, but listening to the Vanity Project, everything just sounds so commercial and tame. I hope he does some good work.

So I guess I'm now free to declare: Steven Page > Barenaked Ladies. Feels good.

I have quickly fallen in love with this band. In no time at all, they have climbed to second on my most listened. It's all thanks to Colin Mochrie mentioning tthe song "Tonight is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel" on BlogTalk radio. My favorite BNL song at the moment - "In The Car". Awesome Canadians, ftw.
