Earth and Space Collaboration

Earth and Space Collaboration

posted by Barenaked Ladies on May 8, 2012 in

It's fair to say that Ed Robertson and Chris Hadfield are about to set off on the most unusual collaboration of their careers.

The singer-songwriter from the Barenaked Ladies and the astronaut are teaming up to write the song for next year's Music Monday, a day to celebrate the importance of music and education. The twist is Hadfield will be orbiting the globe in the International Space Station while the two write, record and premiere the track, with Robertson on the ground in Canada.

Spencer West (Blog from Jim)

posted by Barenaked Ladies on May 1, 2012 in Blog

Last week, I was fortunate to witness Spencer West speak at my local elementary school. From his wheel chair, he explained how his legs were amputated at an early age. He shared his many challenges and the experiences that have helped him overcome them.

It was incredibly moving to see how he reached the students. Through anecdotes, games, and thought-provoking questions, he captivated the children’s attention. A steady stream of tears poured down my face for most of the speech. At one point, a grade-two student noticed my personal Niagara Falls and so, in lame sign language, I gestured that they were happy tears. I didn’t want to traumatize the poor kid.

With a laser beam of honesty, Spencer spoke of how hard it has been to accept help from others. I can relate since I’ve been known to take “do it yourself” to an aggravating extreme (my band mates can probably confirm this). By accepting help, I suppose there is a fear of losing control. But as Spencer illustrated, receiving assistance from others can inspire a person to give something back in return. He told a story of how a five-year-old in Africa took the initiative to push his chair up a steep hill and how that small gesture has motivated him to respond by helping that child’s community.

Spencer is going to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Kenya to create access to water for more than 20,000 people in Eastern Africa. The example he has set for my community by sharing his story has already moved mountains. I know that Mt. Kilimanjaro will be just one more mountain that Spencer has conquered, but Holy Crap, is it big. Have a safe journey Spencer! We will be rooting for you!

STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE!

STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE!

posted by Barenaked Ladies on March 27, 2012 in

LOS ANGELES – Before hitting the road on July 6 for the “Last Summer On Earth” tour, Barenaked Ladies will release a rarities collection that highlights the band’s years at Reprise Records with 10 unreleased tracks and two hard-to-find recordings. STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE! will be available May 8 from Rhino for $11.98 (CD) or $9.99 (digital download). PRE-ORDER HERE

The Canadian pop-rock group signed with Reprise in 1992 and cultivated a loyal following who appreciated their freewheeling concerts and memorable songwriting. STOP US draws deeply from those formative years with an early, live version of “Same Thing,” a live cover of the Beastie Boys’ “Shake Your Rump,” the demo for longtime favorite “Old Apartment,” and the previously unreleased live track “Teenage Wasteland.” Also included from that era is the rare Pull’s Break Remix version of “One Week,” the smash that helped propel the Barenaked Ladies to international stardom in 1998.

STOP US also unearths several unreleased tracks recorded during sessions for Everything To Everyone (2003), including “Long While” and “I Don’t Get It Anymore,” along with the demo for the album track “Second Best.” Also included from those sessions are versions of “Half A Heart” and “Adrift” – two songs the band later re-recorded for Barenaked Ladies Are Me (2006).

The collection offers two remaining gems: an early version of “I Can, I Will, I Do” recorded in 2001 during sessions for Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits; and “Yes, Yes, Yes,” a song previously available only as a UK b-side or as a bonus track from the deluxe version of Everything To Everyone. 

Weeks after the release of STOP US IF YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE!, Barenaked Ladies will launch its “Last Summer On Earth” tour, which features fellow performers Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, and Cracker. The 31 date tour kicks off on July 6 in Toledo, Ohio and ends with a date in Bangor, Maine on August 19. Tickets for shows in select markets are on sale now with others going on sale in the coming weeks through Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com.

Last Summer On Earth!

Last Summer On Earth!

posted by Barenaked Ladies on March 12, 2012 in Shows

Barenaked Ladies will be joining forces with Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd & The Monsters and Cracker for Last Summer on Earth, a package tour kicking off this July in Toledo, Ohio. The four bands will play more than 30 arenas and amphitheaters across North America through the middle of August.

"I love playing outside in the summertime," says Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson. "To travel and hang around with a bunch of bands, and get a chance to do some collaboration is part of the magic of a summer tour." The  tour's ominous title is a nod to what could be a potentially dreadful economy for live music, and superstitions about the end of the world. "I'm a man of science, and therefore put zero stock in all of the disastrous predictions about the year 2012," says Robertson. "But just in case, I think everybody should come out and see one last great summer concert tour!  It can't hurt, right? Here's hoping the Mayans just got tired of chiseling!"
