Gig Reviews: Barenaked Ladies

Most people remember these guys for fun songs during the 90s with fast rap bits, or possibly more recently for the Big Bang Theory theme tune, but they're still touring, still going strong and still being awesome.   And their new stuff is just as good as their old.   I've seen them both times they've been up here recently.  Both times they had the same opening act and he was awesome.   A mad man with a northern accent singing about the monkey that got hanged in Hartlepool and getting the whole crowd to join in with him.   Good times.   They did a great mix of old and new songs, including everyone's favorite, If I Had $1,000,000, and they just seemed like such cool, chilled out, friendly guys.   And Ed, like, totally made eye contact with me.   Swoon! 

Songs: Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Aren't the Barenaked Ladies just great?

Songs: Odds Are

I love the Barenaked Ladies.   I've seen them live twice and their songs are so catchy and happy with clever lyrics and some seriously impressively fast rapping.   And it turns out their new stuff is awesome too!   This is odds are.   It makes me happy.   Also, Ed is a sexy sexy man.
