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??
