Barenaked Ladies Tickets

Barenaked Ladies News and Information Scarborough, Ontario's The Barenaked Ladies started in 1988 as the duo of Page and Robertson who had previously played together in a Rush clone band. They released a cheap cassette called Buck Naked' in 1989 followed by 1990's 'Barenaked Lunch' which was the Creeggan brothers debut.

The band finished up their independent commitments of gigs and cassettes in retail and retired to record their 1992 debut called 'Gordon'. The album, riding the crest of the ensuing media frenzy, went on to sell 500,000 copies and BNL were unanimously hailed as geniuses.

Since then, they've tread cautiously with their biting sarcasm and novelty tunes to build a steady cult following that got an unexpected boost from the video for the band's "The Old Apartment", directed by "Beverley Hills 90210" actor Jason Priestley, and the Stateside success of the 1997 live "Rock Spectacle" album. BNL finally exploded in the U.S. in 1998 with the release of the album "Stunt" and the single "One Week". The pay-off for years of gruelling touring, "Stunt" was certified double-platinum (2 million copies) in America in November 1998. The album's second single and video, "It's All Been Done", pushed sales even higher.

They returned in August 2000 with the upbeat single "Pinch Me", which featured some of the same rapid-fire singing that made "One Week" so memorable. A full album, "Maroon", produced by rock vet Don Was (Bonnie Raitt, Rolling Stones), followed on Sept. 12, 2000.
