Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

I signed up for something a long time ago, but I can't remember what, now. Must not be the fanclub though, because it sounds like I would have gotten the e-mail much sooner. I used to love their blog, but last I checked, they hadn't updated it in forever.

I love 'em

First saw them about 10 years back on tv when they were on at the T in the park festival in Scotland - they were so entertaining&very funny, esp the part about Kraft dinners!!!!

 

[love_u2_adam]

....how can you not like BNL

 

[IWasBored]

I really don't like them.... sorry!

ok. so go post in a thread pertaining to a band you do like

 

[Dalton]

All I am going to say is that I hate this band and am in the process of sueing them for false advertising.

I shelled out $30.00 to see them in concert only to find out that they are neither 'barenaked' nor 'ladies', let alone "barenaked ladies".

Damn, unsavory canucks....

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

"ok. so go post in a thread pertaining to a band you do like "


Ok, ok....I go.....

I received this email today from the ladies....

As you know, Barenaked Ladies have been busy in the studio writing and recording tons of new material over the last six months.
For fans in the Toronto area, this will be your chance to see them play these new songs in a very rare, intimate and acoustic performance!

Don't worry about owning a radio ~ I don't hear much new music on the radio anymore

Most of the new music I hear comes off the internet or friends

 

[IWasBored]

the radio is evil.

BNL are touring this fall in Canada and the US :hyper;

I have my pre-sale code

 

[trevster2k]

Since this thread has re-emerged, I figure I would show off these pics of someone you might recognize. I just happened to walk into this bar on a Tuesday night around 230am to see Ed walk on stage and rip it up for an hour with Larry Foley, local Newfoundland musician. This was August 2 / 2006.

He sang stuff like One Week, Another Postcard, Pinch Me, If I Had A Million Dollars and others I can't remember. Plus local faves like I's Da By, and Drunken Sailor and Bruce Cockburn or Gordon Lightfoot, I can't remember. It was a fantastic impromptu performance by a world-class musician in a incredibly intimate setting. Good thing I had my camera.

He was in Newfoundland filming a tv series for OLN and was visiting Alan Doyle from Great Big Sea for the day. Alan went home but Ed hung around for the best Tuesday in Canada that week. It was the George Street Festival where an entire block of bars becomes a giant bar.

 

[VintagePunk]

^Extremely cool!

So that is Ed on the OLN ads - I thought so, but wasn't positive. I keep glancing up and seeing him for a nanosecond, then he's gone.

 

[fah]

That must have been great

I'm glad you had your camera trevster2k
