Barenaked Ladies

For over three decades, Barenaked Ladies have charmed audiences with their catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and infectious humor.

Formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario, this Canadian rock band has become a cultural staple, blending alternative rock with pop sensibilities and a comedic flair that sets them apart.

From their grassroots beginnings to international fame with hits like “One Week” and the iconic The Big Bang Theory theme, Barenaked Ladies have left an indelible mark on music and pop culture.

This article explores their journey, music, and legacy, revealing why they remain a beloved Canadian act today.

Barenaked Ladies’ Band Members

Barenaked Ladies, known for their energetic performances and eclectic musical style, has had a dynamic lineup over the years.

The current members of the band have been with the group for much of its history, contributing to its distinctive sound and success.

Ed Robertson

He is one of the founding members and has been with the band since its inception in 1988.

As the lead vocalist and one of the primary guitarists, Robertson’s voice and songwriting have been central to the band’s identity.

His versatility as a performer allows him to play both lead and rhythm guitar while delivering the band’s signature blend of humorous and thoughtful lyrics.

Jim Creeggan,

He joined the band in 1989, and has been with Barenaked Ladies throughout its entire career.

Known for his exceptional double bass skills, Creeggan also plays bass guitar and provides both backing and lead vocals.

His musical contributions help define the band’s unique sound, particularly in their early years.

Tyler Stewart,

The drummer and percussionist has been with the band since 1990.

In addition to his drumming expertise, Stewart began contributing backing and lead vocals in 2008.

His strong rhythm section, paired with his vocals, adds depth to the band’s live performances and recordings.

Kevin Hearn

He joined Barenaked Ladies in 1995 and is known for his proficiency on keyboards, lead and rhythm guitars, as well as both lead and backing vocals.

Hearn’s contributions have added a distinct layer to the band’s music, bringing in a mix of melodic keyboard lines and complex musical textures.

Former Members

Throughout their decades-long career, the Barenaked Ladies have evolved, both musically and in their lineup.

While the current quartet continues to define the band’s sound, understanding their full journey requires acknowledging the significant contributions of those who were once integral to their formation and early success. Indeed, the band’s rich history is also defined by its former members.

Most notably, these include co-founder Steven Page and Andy Creeggan.

Steven Page

He was one of the founding members of Barenaked Ladies, contributing as a lead vocalist and guitarist from 1988 until his departure in 2009.

Page’s distinctive voice and songwriting played a significant role in shaping the band’s early sound.

Although he left the group, Page made a one-off return in 2018, briefly rejoining the band for a special performance.

Andy Creeggan

Jim Creeggan’s brother, was another original member of the band.

He played keyboards, drums, and percussion and provided both backing and lead vocals from 1989 to 1995.

His contributions were integral to the band’s early sound, but he left the group in 1995 to pursue other musical projects.

History

Let us look into the journy of the Barenaked Ladies

The Birth of Barenaked Ladies: A Quirky Beginning

The story of Barenaked Ladies began with two childhood acquaintances, Ed Robertson and Steven Page.

Both Ed Robertson and Steven Page attended Churchill Heights Public School but later reconnected as teenagers over a shared love for music.

They met as teenagers after a Peter Gabriel concert and bonded over their shared love of music at Interprovincial Music Camp in Ontario.

Their friendship solidified, and they started jamming together, impressed by each other’s harmonizing skills.

A pivotal moment came during a Bob Dylan concert, where, bored by the performance, they jokingly invented the name “Barenaked Ladies” while pretending to be rock critics.

On October 1, 1988, they played their first gig under this quirky moniker, marking the band’s official start.

Their performance was an improvised set at a 1988 battle of the bands in Toronto, blending music with comedy and audience engagement.

Thereafter, Page and Robertson kept performing and started writing songs as a team.

Their early years were modest but ambitious. Initially a duo, Barenaked Ladies recorded their first demo, Buck Naked (1989), on a cassette tape in basements and bedrooms using a four-track recorder.

The cassette showcased their raw talent and playful songwriting.

Their comedic influences grew through their connection with Corky and the Juice Pigs, leading to opening slots on the comedy group’s national tour.

The addition of brothers Jim Creeggan (bass) and Andy Creeggan (percussion) expanded the band, resulting in Barenaked Lunch (aka The Pink Tape) in 1990.  

When Andy temporarily departed for a student-exchange trip in 1990, drummer Tyler Stewart joined them in Waterloo, Ontario.

The band gained early recognition with a 1990 YTV Achievement Award and a Speaker’s Corner performance of “Be My Yoko Ono.”

Andy Creeggan returned in 1991, adding keyboards and percussion, and the solid five-piece lineup began their first Canadian tour.

Breaking Through: Barenaked Ladies’ Rise to Stardom

The early 1990s saw Barenaked Ladies transition from local heroes to national stars.

In 1991, they released The Yellow Tape, a demo recorded for South by Southwest that featured their full five-member lineup.

Initially rejected by every Canadian record label, the cassette gained momentum through vibrant live performances and word-of-mouth.

Distributed by Page Publications, founded by Steven Page’s father, it became a retail hit, outselling major releases like Michael Jackson’s Dangerous at some Toronto stores.

The tape achieved platinum status with 100,000 copies sold, a first for an indie release in Canada.

Their live cover of Dean Friedman’s “McDonald’s Girl,” infused with Beastie Boys-inspired rap, earned radio play, while their contribution to the Bruce Cockburn tribute album, a cover of “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” became their first Top 40 hit in Canada.

Controversy arose when the band was removed from a 1991 New Year’s Eve concert at Nathan Phillips Square due to their name, deemed inappropriate by city officials.

The media coverage amplified their visibility, and by February 1992, Toronto City Council revised its booking rules. The band’s second MuchMusic Intimate and Interactive special in January 1992 further solidified their rising status.

In April 1992, Barenaked Ladies signed with Sire Records and released their debut album, Gordon, in July. The album, featuring hits like “Enid,” “Be My Yoko Ono,” “If I Had $1000000,” and “Brian Wilson.”

Gordon is an album with an eclectic mix of pop, rock, and folk, paired with humorous lyrics, that resonated with Canadian audiences, achieving platinum status.

The album laid the foundation for their signature sound: clever wordplay, tight harmonies, and an approachable charm.

However, while the album was successful domestically, U.S. success remained elusive.

A Rocky Road to Renewal: Barenaked Ladies’ Mid-90s Journey

In the early 1990s, the band Barenaked Ladies was doing great. But around 1994, things slowed down.

Their second album, Maybe You Should Drive, wasn’t as popular as their first one, Gordon.

The band wanted to be famous in America, so they went on a tour there.

Even though they had a fun show on TV with Conan O’Brien, the tour lost money and made the band feel down.

Behind the scenes, one of the band members, Andy Creeggan, the percussionist, was unhappy with the band’s music and increasing fame.

He considered leaving during the Drive album rehearsals, but the band persuaded him to stay.

However, his true desire was to study music at university, and the drummer, Tyler Stewart, noted that Andy never felt fully comfortable after his role as the main rhythm player changed.

When Andy finally left, things got worse. The two main singers, Steven Page and Ed Robertson, who used to be best friends, hardly talked.

Steven was having a hard time with sadness and drinking. Tyler thought Andy leaving just made their friendship problems worse.

To address these issues and try to revive their career, the band hired a new manager, Terry McBride, and a management company called Nettwerk.

So, around April to July 1995, they recorded an album they later released called Born on a Pirate Ship, produced by Barenaked Ladies and Michael Phillip Wojewoda.

Also in 1995, Tyler invited his friend Kevin Hearn to fill the gap Andy left behind and join as the touring keyboardist.

Kevin’s energy was a perfect fit, and soon he became a full member of the band.

The Turning Point

In 1996, Barenaked Ladies reemerged as a five-member band with the release of Born on a Pirate Ship, marking a turning point in their journey.

The album was recorded as a four-piece following the departure of keyboardist Andy Creeggan.

Although Kevin Hearn wasn’t credited on the album, he had joined the band during their 1995 tour and was acknowledged in the liner notes for bringing fresh energy to the group.

The album leaned into alternative and pop rock, showcasing more upbeat and lively tracks. “Shoe Box” was featured on the Friends soundtrack, while “The Old Apartment” gained traction in the U.S., drawing attention to the band south of the border.

Though Born on a Pirate Ship performed better than its predecessor, it still didn’t match the commercial success of their debut, Gordon.

A standout moment came when the band performed “The Old Apartment,” “Life, In a Nutshell,” and “Brian Wilson” on the TV show Beverly Hills, 90210, mixing their offbeat humor with mainstream exposure.

Later that same year, the band released Rock Spectacle, their first live album, on November 19, 1996.

Capturing performances from Chicago’s Riviera Theatre and Montreal’s Olympia during the Pirate Ship tour, the album became their breakout success in the United States.

It featured a crowd-pleasing live version of “Brian Wilson,” which became a radio hit. Rock Spectacle sold over a million copies in the U.S., becoming their first gold—and eventually platinum—record.

By mid-1998, it had sold 775,000 copies in the U.S. and 80,000 in Canada, cementing their growing popularity and setting the stage for their next big leap.

Barenaked Ladies Breakthrough

Barenaked Ladies enjoyed early popularity in Canada but faced a rocky path before reaching a major turning point in their career.

That breakthrough came with their fourth studio album, Stunt, released on July 7, 1998, under the Reprise label.

Produced by the band alongside David Leonard and Susan Rogers, Stunt marked their rise into the mainstream.

The album’s lead single, “One Week,” written by Ed Robertson, became a massive hit.

Released on September 15, 1998, it spent one week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Stunt itself peaked at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached number nine in Canada, solidifying their presence in the American market.

Shortly after the album’s release, keyboardist Kevin Hearn was diagnosed with leukemia, requiring bone marrow transplants.

During his treatment, Chris Brown and Greg Kurstin stepped in for the tour. Hearn later rejoined the band once he was well enough to perform again.

Other singles from Stunt, like “It’s All Been Done” and “Call and Answer,” saw moderate success.

“It’s All Been Done” became the theme song for the animated series Baby Blues, while “Call and Answer” was featured in the film EdTV.

Around this time, the band also contributed “Get in Line” to the King of the Hill soundtrack, further cementing their role in pop culture.

Their success continued with their fifth studio album, Maroon, released in 2000, also under Reprise. Led by the hit single “Pinch Me,” Maroon topped the Canadian charts—making it their second album to reach No. 1 after their 1992 debut Gordon.

It also climbed to number five on the U.S. Billboard 200. In its first week, it sold nearly 18,000 copies in Canada and just under 128,000 in the U.S.

The album went on to sell over a million copies in the U.S. and featured other popular singles like “Too Little Too Late” and “Falling for the First Time.”

Barenaked Ladies at the Decade

Barenaked Ladies kept their momentum going into the new millennium by releasing a compilation album that celebrated their first decade of music.

Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991–2001) was released in November 2001 under the Reprise label and featured a collection of the band’s most popular singles, along with two new tracks—“It’s Only Me (The Wizard of Magicland)” and “Thanks That Was Fun,” the latter of which was released as a single.

The album was well-received commercially and was certified gold in the United States.

The compilation featured songs produced by a wide array of collaborators, including the band themselves along with Dan Durbin, David Kahne, David Leonard, Ben Mink, Susan Rogers, Jim Scott, Don Was, Aubrey Winfield, and Michael Phillip Wojewoda.

In addition to fan favorites, the album included two tracks that had not been on any of their previous albums: “Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” a Bruce Cockburn cover from a 1991 tribute album, and “Get in Line” from the King of the Hill soundtrack. Some singles were featured in edited or remixed forms, including a radio version of “Shoe Box.”

Initially, the band debated whether to include the lesser-known singles “Be My Yoko Ono” and “Alternative Girlfriend.”

To settle the matter, they conducted a fan poll on their website.

The results were nearly evenly split, so the band opted to include both tracks, pushing the album’s total runtime past 73 minutes.

Following the tour promoting Disc One, which ended with a New Year’s Eve show on December 31, 2001, in Rosemont, Illinois, the band took a break.

Aside from a special performance at the 2002 Winter Olympics Medals Plaza, they stepped away from touring and recording until they returned to the studio in April 2003.

Barenaked Ladies’ Sixth Studio Album

After years of intense recording and touring from 1995 to 2001, Barenaked Ladies took their first significant break in 2002, stepping away from the spotlight until most of 2003.

Refreshed and regrouped, the band returned to the studio that year to work on their sixth full-length album, Everything to Everyone.

For this project, the band adopted a new creative approach: songwriting would remain entirely in-house.

This shift allowed bassist Jim Creeggan and keyboardist Kevin Hearn to contribute more significantly, leading to a more collaborative effort and a larger pool of songs.

The final album featured 14 tracks and a bonus song, all recorded in Los Angeles. During the recording process, Barenaked Ladies also launched a blog, offering fans behind-the-scenes access to their creative journey—an early move toward digital fan engagement.

Released on October 21, 2003, and produced by Ron Aniello, Everything to Everyone coincided with the launch of the band’s “Peep Show” tour.

The album’s first single, “Another Postcard (Chimps),” received moderate radio play. Other tracks like “Testing 1,2,3,” “Celebrity,” “Maybe Katie,” and a live version of “For You” were also released in various formats, though they saw limited success.

Some had music videos, while others were only released to radio or in specific regions.

Despite appearances on major U.S. talk shows and a dedicated tour, the album’s commercial performance fell short of expectations.

While Everything to Everyone debuted in the Top 10 in both Canada and the United States, it quickly dropped down the charts.

It became only the second Barenaked Ladies album—not including early independent releases—to fall short of Gold certification in the U.S., echoing the modest performance of 1994’s Maybe You Should Drive.

Independence, Challenges, and Page’s Departure

Everything to Everyone, released in 2003, marked a turning point for Barenaked Ladies, as it fulfilled their contract with Reprise Records.

For the first time since 1992, the band operated independently, though they maintained a distribution partnership with Warner Bros. Records.

Embracing the digital age early, BNL began offering live show recordings and future releases for download or as CD-Rs on their website during their early 2004 Everywhere For Everyone tour.

In 2004, the band launched their own label, Desperation Records, to release Barenaked for the Holidays, a festive album recorded at Steven Page’s Fresh Baked Woods studio.

While it included traditional holiday songs, much of the album reflected the group’s quirky, playful style.

The release proved popular during the holiday season, peaking at No. 64 on the Billboard 200. They supported the album with a holiday-themed tour across 2004 and 2005.

During this period, the band explored a variety of creative ventures.

These included music for the Stratford Festival’s As You Like It and an unaired 2005 Fox pilot titled Barenaked Ladies Variety Show.

Their musical range continued to expand with the 2008 children’s album Snacktime!, which showed a softer, family-friendly side of the band. However, the era was not without setbacks.

Steven Page was arrested for cocaine possession in 2008, leading to the cancellation of several performances, including Disney’s Music Block Party.

Around the same time, Ed Robertson endured a plane crash and the loss of his mother—personal events that further shaped the band’s journey.

Steven Page’s Departure and a New Era for Barenaked Ladies

Steven Page, a founding member of Barenaked Ladies, played a vital role in shaping the band’s sound and success.

As a primary songwriter and key voice, he enjoyed a long and creative partnership with the group.

However, after two decades, Page decided it was time to move on and explore new artistic avenues.

In February 2009, he officially left the band to pursue solo and theatrical projects.

His departure left the band as a quartet—four singers and three multi-instrumentalists—now led by Ed Robertson.

Determined to move forward, the remaining members returned to the studio in May 2009 to record a new album with longtime producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda.

The lead single, “You Run Away,” premiered on Canadian radio on January 8, 2010, offering a reflective tone that hinted at the group’s transition.

Their album, All in Good Time, was released in 2010 on the band’s own Raisin’ Records label, with distribution by EMI.

The record was well-received by both critics and fans, signaling a successful new chapter.

Barenaked Ladies resumed touring across the U.S. and Canada in the summer of 2010, followed by a fall tour in the U.K., all while adjusting to life without Page.

In later interviews, Page shared that the band had begun to lose its sense of fun even before his arrest in 2008, and that he had no immediate plans to return—aside from the possibility of a one-time performance.

He also expressed discomfort with the band continuing to use the name and perform songs he had written and once fronted.

Tensions lingered, and in 2015, a legal dispute emerged over royalties from The Big Bang Theory theme song. Page claimed he had been promised 20% of the earnings but alleged that Robertson withheld the money.

Later Years and Continued Evolution of Barenaked Ladie

Despite facing legal disputes and personal challenges, Barenaked Ladies proved their resilience, redefining themselves as a quartet and continuing to create music with renewed energy and focus.

In 2011, the band released their second greatest hits compilation, Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before, under Rhino Entertainment, a division of their former label, Warner Music Group.

This was followed by Stop Us If You’ve Heard This One Before, released on May 8, 2012—a collection of previously unreleased rarities, mostly from their time with Reprise Records.

The album included tracks dating back to the Everything to Everyone (2003) and Disc One: All Their Greatest Hits (1991–2001) sessions.

The band maintained momentum with the 2012 single “Boomerang” and their 2013 studio album Grinning Streak, released via Vanguard Records and featuring fan-favorite tracks like “Odds Are.”

This period also saw the release of Silverball (2015) and the live album BNL Rocks Red Rocks (2016), both tied to their ongoing Last Summer on Earth tour series.

In 2017, the band collaborated with a cappella group The Persuasions for Ladies and Gentlemen: Barenaked Ladies and The Persuasions, a project that reimagined songs from their catalog.

Later that year, they released Fake Nudes, continuing their creative output.

A milestone came in 2018 when Barenaked Ladies were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

The occasion featured a one-time reunion performance with founding member Steven Page, though Andy Creeggan was notably not included in the induction.

In 2019, they joined Hootie & the Blowfish on the Group Therapy Tour, and Rhino released Original Hits, Original Stars, another retrospective.

The band’s planned 2020 tour with Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response, they launched the Barenaked Bytes app to stay connected with fans.

Barenaked Ladies continued to innovate with the release of Detour de Force in 2021 and a collaborative project that same year with Rush’s Geddy Lee. These ventures underscore the band’s enduring creativity and evolving legacy as one of Canada’s most beloved and dynamic acts.

They took home their first Juno for Group of the Year, marking the start of a long relationship with the Canadian music awards.

The following years brought further nominations, affirming the band’s growing impact and sustained popularity in the music industry.

Juno Awards and Nomination

Their first major recognition came in 1993, when they were nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year for Gordon, and Single of the Year for Enid, ultimately winning Group of the Year.

This early acclaim helped establish them as one of Canada’s leading musical acts.

In subsequent years, their momentum continued with nominations for Entertainer of the Year in 1994, and another nod for Group of the Year in 1995.

Their landmark success came in 1999, following the release of Stunt, which earned them three Juno Awards: Best Group, Best Pop Album, and Best Single for the hit One Week.

The band sustained this success into the 2000s. In 2001, they won Best Group again, and their album Maroon received a nomination for Best Album and a win for Best Pop Album, while the single Pinch Me was nominated for Best Single.

Additional nominations followed in 2004 for Group of the Year and Pop Album of the Year (Everything to Everyone), and in 2005 for Music DVD of the Year with The Barenaked Truth. They were again up for Group of the Year in 2006.

In 2009, the Barenaked Ladies won a Juno Award in a new category, taking home Children’s Album of the Year for Snacktime!, showcasing their versatility and ability to reach audiences of all ages.

Overall, their strong showing at the Junos across multiple decades reflects their enduring popularity and influence in the Canadian music scene.

Billboard Music and Grammy Awards and Nomination

Barenaked Ladies enjoyed notable recognition at both the Billboard Music Awards and the Grammy Awards, marking their international success and impact on pop and alternative music.

At the 1998 Billboard Music Awards, their breakout hit “One Week” earned them two prestigious wins.

The song was awarded Best Clip (Alternative/Modern Rock), recognizing the creative excellence of its music video, and also won the Maximum Vision Award, which honors innovative visual presentation and artistic vision in music video production.

The band’s success extended to the Grammy Awards, with two nominations in the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal category.

In 1999, “One Week” was nominated, showcasing the track’s massive popularity and strong vocal performance.

This recognition continued in 2001 with a second nomination for “Pinch Me”, further cementing their status as a standout act in the pop music landscape.

While they did not secure a Grammy win, the nominations themselves reflected their crossover appeal and influence in the North American music industry.

Other Awards and Nominations

In addition to their success at the Junos and recognition by Billboard and the Grammys, the Barenaked Ladies have earned numerous other awards and nominations from prestigious music institutions around the world.

At the MTV Video Music Awards in 1999, their chart-topping hit One Week received a nomination for Best Art Direction, with Paul Martin credited as the art director.

This nomination highlighted the band’s strong visual creativity and appeal on music television.

The MuchMusic Video Awards, Canada’s top music video honors, have also celebrated the band multiple times.

In 1992, Lovers in a Dangerous Time earned the VideoFACT Award and People’s Choice: Best Group. The following year, Brian Wilson secured another People’s Choice: Best Group win.
