  • Barenaked Ladies Write Song for SCORE: a HOCKEY MUSICAL
    STAR PR Tel: (416) 488-4436 Fax: (416) 488-8438 E-Mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________________________ Barenaked Ladies write song for SCORE: A HOCKEY MUSICAL Barenaked Ladies – the multi-platinum-selling band whose 11th studio album All in Good Time streets March 23rd – have written a song for Michael McGowan’s Score: A Hockey Musical, which stars Olivia Newton-John, as well as Canadian music artists Nelly Furtado, Marc Jordan, Hawksley Workman and Dave Bidini, and newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald. The film is shooting in Toronto until March 8. The BnL’s song is sung by Reid, Workman and Bidini in the film’s first few scenes, where 17-year-old Farley (Reid) is playing shinny with the neighborhood rink rats (Workman, Bidini, among others). Little do they know that Farley’s puck-handling skills – much to the dismay of his intellectual parents (Newton-John and Jordan) – will send him from obscurity to overwhelming fame within a matter of weeks. The song’s lyrics are co-written by McGowan and the BnL. As a huge fan of the BNL, Michael McGowan says, “Barenaked Ladies were the first musicians I approached about being involved with the film. The group immediately understood what I was trying to achieve and generously agreed to be a part of it. What they delivered musically far surpassed my already high expectations." Although international stars, the BnL (Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn and Tyler Stewart) are still based out of their hometown Toronto. The film – which combines our national sport with musical numbers – includes Nelly Furtado as an ardent hockey fan and Allie MacDonald is Farley’s best friend.

    With my proofreader on holiday in China and Liam touring America with Steven Page, I’m writing solo this issue; all typos are therefore my fault and you can shout at me for them. Lots of Steve news this issue. It’s nice now the uncertainty between them has cleared and I no longer have to feel awkward about including Steve news in here. As for his new album, I’d describe it as a Beatles-inspired soundtrack to a Broadway musical about the current political climate; your mileage will vary depending on how appealing that idea sounds to you. And since this is kind of my solo news box, Kevin posted the drawing I gave him on his Instagram this month. Considering it took 9 months to draw, I’m really glad he and so many others like it.
