 This is 24 Hrs late, but courtesy of the fabulous Jimmy Shaw, I had my socks blown off last night at Massey Hall in Toronto.  METRIC were absolutely on fire as they burned through a tight set of angular and catchy songs, mostly from their latest album - Fantasies.  I've seen this band grow and develop over the years, and have always been blown away by Emily's stage presence and the ridiculously tight rhythm section of Jules on drums and Joshua on bass.

 Yes we're still chomping at the bit over here at BNL headquarters. We're putting the finishing touches on the new CD, and we're looking at a very early 2010 release.  Sorry for the delay, again, but we want to make sure everything is just right for the re-launch of this 20 year-old rock and roll ensemble. Here's Ed to tell you a bit more, and a sneak peak at our recent rehearsals.  Thanks for stickin' with us, Peeps.

Holy Crap - that's finally it! After 19 days of work shopping and arranging and 37 days of recording, we're finished the heavy lifting on this, the 12th Studio Album from Barenaked Ladies. It's been both challenging and incredibly rewarding over the past three and a half months. We've undertaken our first recording as a 4pc, changed up our management, and we even got out to play a bunch of rock shows for y'all.

 When I first joined Barenaked Ladies in 1990, we had a residency at a Toronto Club called Ultrasound Showbar. It's long gone, but we remember it here.

One of the hardest parts of recording for the drummer is the over-dub process.  All the drums are done and, aside from the occasional tambourine or shaker, there's not much else to do.  Luckily, two factors contributed to me having more to do this time around. First of all, I get to sing a little more these days and I'm loving it! Secondly, JIM BOUGHT A BIG GREEN EGG so I became the session Chef! It was great to cook for my boys while we polished up the tunes.  Maybe I should do it on the road??
