Biografía de Barenaked Ladies

A great sense of humour and some even better songs have helped Barenaked Ladies become one of Canada’s biggest acts, selling 15 million records and picking up multiple Grammy nominations on the way.

Coming from humble beginnings in Ontario, Canada, the pairing of Ed Robertson and Steven Page came together in a chance meeting after a Peter Gabriel concert. After constantly missing practices to begin with, the pair learnt to improvise their sets as they went along, a unique live touch that has remained a staple throughout their career.

They began to put together home recordings including their first album, Buck Naked which was put together on a 4 track recorder. After adding a few new members, the band made their first commercial release, 1991’s The Yellow Tape which was sent to and subsequently rejected by every label in Canada. The band began to sell the tape at their shows and as demand increased, record shops were forced to stock the tape to keep customers happy. Eventually, it’s popularity snowballed and the tape became the first indie release to go platinum in Canada.

1992’s Gordon became their first full album and became a huge success spawning singles like ‘If I had $1000000’. The band continued to have no luck breaking in the United States until 1998’s Stunt helped them hit the big time. The single ‘One Week’ became a breakout success and hit number one in the singles charts pretty much cementing their position as a major act for the remainder of their career.

The band has always maintained a connection to the comedy that separates them from so many other acts and in 2007 they wrote and recorded the theme song for hit Sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’ meaning that Barenaked ladies are heard in living rooms worldwide every night.

I first saw Train in concert in 2006 and I loved every minute of it. This is exactly my type of music. It isn't too hard, yet it makes you feel pretty good about things going on around you.

I especially love Pat's acoustic version of Drops of Jupiter. I really like when they play that one on a show. There's something really honest about simple guitar pieces – it really shows off a person's talent, as it does with this piece by Train.

That said, it's also really fun when Pat suddenly whips out a megaphone to sing "I Got You". I like how they seem so comfortable with their music. The audience really got into it when "Save Me San Francisco" was performed. The audience was part of the song, and were made to sing part of the song. This was a really fun part of the show. The audience really got into the show at this point.

I went to my last Train show with a few people that weren't really familiar with Train, but as the show went on, they really seemed to be having a good time and getting into the music. You just couldn't help yourself.

Train have a way of just making you feel like you wanted to join in. I will definitely go to another concert by Train this year, they're touring pretty hard at the moment. I think the 'nonbelievers' that were with me would also immediately agree to going to another concert!

The first time I ever hear Barenaked Ladies was on the Weird Al Yankovic show years and years ago and they have continued to maintain their ability to not take themselves too seriously. I was able to see the Barenaked Ladies play at a large outdoor venue and the sound and energy was fantastic. Although the show was for all ages, the crowd was mostly late twenties and up which also (in my opinion) added to the enjoyment of the show. Although Steven Page left the band shortly prior to my concert, the quartet still put on a great show. They played all the hits ("Pinch me", "One Week", "If I Had a Million Dollars") plus a few surprises ("Maybe Katie", "Never is Enough"). The set was just the right length, although only one song was done as an encore (“When I Fall”). They had recently had a blow up of popularity over the theme song to the show "The Big Bang Theory" which brought out a few new fans but the chemistry between new fans, old fans, and the band was fluid. I would highly recommend attending a Barenaked Ladies concert. The band continually interacted with the audience and created a fun party vibe.

I've seen Matt Nathanson live 115 times. This may make me seem insane to most, but to those who have seen him live more than once will get it.

Matt is the best. As a musician, as a person, and most importantly as a performer.

I stumbled across Matt's music almost by accident nearing a decade ago, and it's been a beautiful whirl wind music love affair since. He writes the most captivating songs, and then executes them live in a way that makes you feel every word he's singing.

His shows almost double as a comedic show; the man has THE BEST sense of humor! I have left venues with my face hurting from laughing and smiling so much. The comedic banter between songs ties together and rounds out an all together perfect show.

You WILL come back for more.

Matt Nathanson, you own my concert loving heart.
