Barenaked Ladies split up...

uglybabo · February 2009

Steven Page is leaving to pursue a solo career... I've seen them live a bunch of times. They put on a great show.

A MESSAGE FROM BARENAKED LADIES
By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies. Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies. Steven Page will pursue solo projects including theatrical opportunities while the band enters the studio in April 2009, and hits the road in the fall.

Page says "These guys are my brothers. We've grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future."

The band also wish Steven well in all of his endeavors. Ed Robertson says: "It's the start of a new chapter for all of us. Here's to the future!"

Everyone is looking forward to making new music and thanks their fans for their support.

I didn't know they were still together. I feel like it's been a very long time since they released an album... wasn't their last album an album of kid songs? That kinda killed them for me.

They did have some good singles though.

Yeah they released a kids album last year - there last 'adult' record was in 2006. I think they peaked in the US sales-wise a while ago, but they were still popular here in Canada.
