Barenaked Lunch Barenaked Lunch 1990 (Winter) Jim and Andy Creeggan join Barenaked Ladies . (February to March) Barenaked Ladies tour Canada with Corky And The Juice Pigs. (February 8) Barenaked Ladies perform in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (March 13) Barenaked Ladies perform in London, Ontario, Canada. (Date Unknown) Look People records its second album Small Fish, Big Pond , venue unknown. (Early 1990) Barenaked Ladies record and issue their second indie release Barenaked Lunch . This is the first band recording to feature the Creeggans . The approximately 2,000 copies produced are mastered at the wrong speed and running a bit too fast. Barenaked Lunch “Night Photographs” “Trouble With Tracy” “Blame It On Me” “Be My Yoko Ono” “If I Had $1000000” “Night Photographs (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:11 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch It can’t be stressed enough just how much the addition of the Creeggan brothers really helped the Ladies fill out their overall sound. The rhythm section ups the energy level of the songs and brings the group much closer now to their familiar sound as heard by the time they recorded the Gordon album. The speed here, as with the entire cassette, is mastered too fast, but honestly, it’s not that bad and I’m not sure too many casual listeners at the time would notice. This recording, with the speed corrected, would later appear on The Ladies Room - Vol. 1 Fan Club CD in 1997. “Trouble With Tracy (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:39 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch Still a regular song in the group’s repertoire (and a really good one, at that), this version is the closest the band got to releasing a proper studio recording. A live version would appear in 1993 as the B-side to “Brian Wilson.” This is definitely a highlight of the tape! “Blame It On Me (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 3:40 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch This recording is pretty close to the later Yellow Tape version, though absent drum, as Tyler Stewart had yet to join the band, it is a bit rougher and very aggressive at the finale (and this is where you can hear the problem with the mastering speed, as the fast playing made faster by the mastering error causes some distortion). Clearly, though, Steve and Ed were writing new material constantly and practically as soon as a song was done it landed on their next recording, as “Blame It On Me” is the only new song to appear on this cassette. “Be My Yoko Ono (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 3:02 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch A bit more refined now and featuring more background harmonies, compared to the earlier Buck Naked version. The tempo has picked up and the energy in the song is now at the level fans would recognize from The Yellow Tape and Gordon. “If I Had $1000000 (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 3:32 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch The guitar arrangement here has an almost country feel, which may be Ed’s influence, having grown up listening to country music before getting into rock. There are still some lyric differences, such as the “green dress” line, and as usual, the banter is never the same twice. (April 12) An article published in the Toronto Star newspaper on this date by Mitch Potter reviews the recent release of Barenaked Lunch by Barenaked Ladies and says the band has received an offer from Stephen Duffy to produce an album. (Spring) Barenaked Ladies record material for their planned first independent album release (Barenaked Recess ). Despite later advertising the album’s imminent release (such as in the Waterloo Busker Festival official program) the album is not issued. Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) “Brian Wilson” “Hello City” “Skinhead” “The Flag” “Lilac Girl” “When Doves Cry” “Material Girl” “Crazy” “Brian Wilson (Barenaked Recess Version)” 4:59 Written by Steven Page Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) Here emerges the first recording of what would become probably the most recorded song in BNL history in terms of official versions (even the Ladies themselves have joked about how many times they’ve put this one on tape). It’s mostly the same as the later versions, though the key change on the last verse is absent and Steve sings some parts a bit differently. You can see Steve’s writing maturing further with this song, too, which was present in earlier songs such as “The Great Provider” and “Blame It On Me.” It’s songs like these which kept the Ladies from becoming just another ‘90s quirky novelty act. “Hello City (Barenaked Recess Version)” 2:58 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson (“Happy Hour” by Paul Heaton & Stan Cullimore) Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) The Ladies’ ode to Halifax, so the story goes, from their East Coast tour with Corky And The Juice Pigs. Apparently, some shows were not pleasant. This recording not too far from the eventual Gordon version, though the turtleneck shirt is not a “mock turtle neck” yet and there’s no instrumental intro yet. “Skinhead (Barenaked Recess Version)” 2:22 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) The story of an old man terrorizing the neighbour, this may not be the groups strongest effort, especially compared to “Brian Wilson,” “The Flag” and even “Crazy” from the same sessions, but it’s harmless fun and was a live staple for a while. “The Flag (Barenaked Recess Version)” 3:25 Written by Steven Page Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) Since Barenaked Recess was never released and the song didn’t appear on the bestseller that was The Yellow Tape, and because the subsequent Variety Recordings tape was promo-only to radio stations, most fans first heard this track on Gordon. It’s sombre look at an unhappy woman in a poisonous (but realistic) relationship took many by surprise (myself included). This version is no less powerful than the more polished Gordon recording. “Lilac Girl (Barenaked Recess Version)” 3:16 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) No a capella “Lilac girl” intro here and the performance isn’t too far from the earlier Buck Naked recording, except the it now features the Creeggans. “When Doves Cry (Barenaked Recess Version)” 2:25 Written by Prince Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) A cover of the Prince hit from 1984. They do a good job with it, having played it in their live set at the time. It worth noting that the arrangement use for the opening of the song bears a striking similarity to “Blame It On Me.” As they were playing “When Doves Cry” live before “Blame It On Me” was written, it would seem that the “Doves” intro was adapted for “Blame It On Me.” “Material Girl (Barenaked Recess Version)” 3:03 Written by Peter Brown & Robert Rans Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) A cover of the Madonna hit from 1984. Like with “When Doves Cry,” the Ladies do a good job with this song. “Crazy (Barenaked Recess Version)” 2:35 Written by Ed Robertson & Tim Wilson Appears on: Barenaked Recess (Unreleased) Fans will know this as the closing track from Gordon. This earlier version is a bit rough around the edges, but has some good energy to it. Apart from “Lilac Girl” and the covers, all the songs planned for Barenaked Recess were new, probably to avoid doubling songs with the recently released Barenaked Lunch tape. Since Recess wasn’t released, these tracks were again free to be explored on later sessions. (May 14) Barenaked Ladies perform at the Rivoli, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, opening for Illustrated Men. Mitch Potter’s review of the show notes some of the songs that the Ladies perform in their set: “McDonald’s Girl” - a cover of the Dean Friedman song “Fox On The Run” - a cover of the Manfred Mann song “Be My Yoko Ono” “Barenaked Rap” (Summer) Barenaked Ladies record the following at Number 9 Audio Group, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The session is produced by the band and engineered by Gary Fishman. The track would be submitted to CFNY’s Modern Music search. “Be My Yoko Ono” – This recording would first appear on a CFNY promo release before later being included on The Yellow Tape . CFNY FM 102.1 releases its Modern Music (“compiled during the summer of 1990”) promo CD and cassette in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, featuring Barenaked Ladies ’ recent recording of “Be My Yoko Ono.” “Be My Yoko Ono (The Yellow Tape Version)” 2:54 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: CFNY-FM 102 Modern Music 1990, The Yellow Tape, Indie-Can ’91, 1992 UK Barenaked Ladies 12” & CD EP This is really the last vestige of the line-up when it was just Page, Robertson and the Creeggan brothers. Despite that, it’s the version that most early fans first heard when the Yellow Tape got big at the end of 1991. It’s a great version, full of energy and achieves at last the sound the group was after from day one. This also marks the start of the Ladies’ practice of recording tracks for radio stations and other outlets, most of which become exclusive to those releases and are hard to find as a result. Luckily, this recording was used on The Yellow Tape, the Indie-Can ’91 2xCD set and the UK EP later. Andy Creeggan joins the Canada World Youth Exchange and travels to South America. Barenaked Ladies ’ line up is now Ed Robertson , Steven Page and Jim Creeggan .

  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

  • 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.
