They are men – and they’re not naked, but you probably already knew that! Hailing from Toronto, folk-pop band The Barenaked Ladies have built a loyal following throughout North America. The band first formed around 1989 and released several independent cassette tapes before hitting it big in their homeland with a 1991 self-titled tape, the first independent release to reach the Top 20 and go platinum in Canada. The surprise success earned the group an international record deal with Sire/Reprise, which issued their major-label debut, Gordon, in 1992. 1994’s Maybe You Should Drive expanded their underground following. 1996’s Born on a Pirate Ship spawned the smash single, “Brian Wilson.” A live album, Rock Spectacle, quickly followed. They are perhaps best known for their feel-good mega-hit, “If I Had a Million Dollars.” A greatest-hits collection was issued in fall 2001 and celebrated BNL’s work and bond as a musical family. Two years later, the band returned with Everything to Everyone. Barenaked Ladies Are Me and the companion album, Barenaked Ladies Are Men, followed in 2006 and 2007 respectively. Another new album, Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before, contains rarities and never-before-heard songs was released May 2012. In 2015, they released Silverball. The Barenaked Ladies continue to tour the world.
