Founded in 1988 Toronto’s Barenaked Ladies have recorded ten studio albums, a live album, and released a greatest hits package to great acclaim in their 20-year existence. The 14 million plus selling band most recently released a pair of albums on their own Desperation Records label titled Barenaked Ladies Are Me and Barenaked Ladies Are Men in the fall of 2006 and spring of 2007 respectively as well as Juno-nominated children’s album called SNACKTIME! in May of 2008.
Barenaked Ladies carved a niche amongst music fans with such classic songs as “One Week”, “Pinch Me”, and “If I Had $1000000”. Along the way, they have developed a fanatical fan base that’s second to none in contemporary music today. Their penchant for the road combined with the ability to engage the audience in ways other bands can only dream about make Barenaked Ladies one of North America’s best-loved live acts.

The band members - Ed Robertson, Kevin Hearn, Jim Creeggan and Tyler Stewart - all hail from the Toronto/Scarborough area and met one another either at music camp, music school or just playing music in Toronto.

Barenaked Ladies continue to carve their path in the music industry playing sold out shows 20 years into the their existence and blazing new trails in terms of giving back to their community and the environment. Their tour bus runs on bio-diesel fuel and they work closely with greening companies such as Reverb to offer their fans a chance to do something for the environment while attending their concerts. The band are set to enter the studio to begin work on their eleventh album, they are putting the finishing touches on a boxed set planned for a 2009 release and also aim to tour in the fall or winter of 2009.
