À propos de cet audio
It’s beeeeennnn… one week since the last episode of Encore, and now here we are with another one. Our 79th episode in total - yes we counted.
Now, in music, novelty acts don’t tend to last very long. In fact, the average best before date of a novelty act lasts only about as long as a box of Kraft Dinner, sometimes less. Back when Barenaked Ladies first emerged from the depths of Scarborough, they were widely considered a novelty act, largely because they mixed such a heavy dose of comedy into their genre-bending music.
Unlike so many official or unofficial novelty acts, Barenaked Ladies have resonated with millions and millions of music lovers for more than 35 years now. What started out as a bunch of guys singing jokey songs about becoming millionaires and being back in grade 9, developed into one of Canada’s most beloved and successful musical acts in that time span. They’ve had #1 hits all over the world, one of the best-selling independent releases in Canadian history, and made Prince’s favourite album of 1998… maybe.
This is the story of Barenaked Ladies' One Week - with newly unearthed audio from BNL!
