Winnipeg, Canada (1989 – present)

Crash Test Dummies is an alternative rock band which formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1989. Since their formation, the band has consisted of Brad Roberts (vocals, guitar), Ellen Reid (keyboards, vocals), Benjamin Darvil (guitar, mandolin), Dan Roberts (bass) and Mitch Dorge (drums). They are best known for their 1993 international pop hit “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”.

Formed in 1989 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the group quickly signed to a major label and released their debut album, The Ghosts that Haunt Me, on April 5, 1991. An unusual combination of folk-rock stylings with witty and offbeat lyrics and the attention-grabbing voice of vocalist Brad Roberts, the album became one of the year’s best-selling records in Canada on the strength of the hit single “Superman’s Song”. It has sold nearly 500,000 copies in Canada, and won that year’s Juno Award for Group of the Year.
“God Shuffled His Feet” has been the Crash Test Dummies’ most successful album to date

On October 15, 1993, they released the follow-up, the more polished and matured God Shuffled His Feet. It was also a success, with the first single, “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”, becoming a major pop hit internationally as well as in Canada and parodied by ”Weird Al” Yankovic under the title “Headline News”.
