Biografia dell'artista Barenaked Ladies

I Barenaked Ladies Spesso Si Usa L'abbreviazione BNL O BnL È Un Gruppo Alternative Rock Canadese Composto Oggi Da 5 Artisti Jim Creeggan Kevin Hearn Steven Page Ed Robertson Tyler Stwewart E In Passato Anche Da Andy Creeegan. Si Forma A Scarborough Nell'Ontario Canada Nel 1988 E Raggiunge Il Successo A Toronto Nel 1990 Con Una Cassetta Auto Prodotta.Sono Molto Conosciuti Per I Loro Singoli " One Week" "Pinch Me" " If I Had $ 1000000" E "Brian Wilson" Ed Anche Per Il Loro Stile Molto Divertente Durante Le Prestazioni. All' Inizio I "Barenaked Ladies" Erano Formati Da Due Soli Elementi Ed Robertson E Steven Page. I Due Erano Andati A Scuola Insieme Ma Non Erano Amici Perché Robertson Era Di Un Anno Più Grande. Si Incontrano Ad Un Concerto Di Peter Gabriel Svoltosi Al Harvey Restaurant Si Conoscono E Scoprono Di Avere Gusti Molto Simili. I Due Diventano Amici E Quando Steve Ha Un Biglietto In Più Per Il Concerto Di Bob Dylan Invita Ed. Hanno Assistito Al Concerto Al Exhibition Stadium Molto Probabilmente Il 29 Agosto 1988 . È Il Periodo In Cui Il Gruppo Di Bob Dylan È Guidato Da G.E. Smith E Non Piace Molto Ai Due Robertson Addirittura Descrive Lo Spettacolo Orribile. I Due Si Vogliono Divertire Si Fingono Critici Musicali Ed Iniziano Ad Inventare Storie Sul Gruppo Di Bob Dylan. Inoltre Si Divertono Anche A Creare Nomi Di Band E Uno Di Questi È Proprio "Barenaked Ladies". Robertsons Aveva Accettato Di Esibirsi Con Il Suo Gruppo In Una Competizione Tra Band Al Nathan Philips Square Per Una Manifestazione. Il Gruppo Però Si Scioglie E Quando Ed Riceve La Telefonata Per Confermare La Sua Esibizione Lui Risponde Che Il Nome Del Gruppo Era Cambiato In "Barenakee Ladies" Ricordando Il Concerto Di Bob Dylan. Chiama Il Suo Amico E Gli Chiede Se Vuole Partecipare Con Lui. Hanno Partecipato Allo Show Il 1 Ottobre 1988 Ma Invece Di Competere I Due Si Sono Divertiti Sul Palco. Lo Show Va Bene E Sono Invitati Ad Aprire Un' Altra Manifestazione Locale Molto Importante Il Razorbacks. Anche In Questo Caso Si Divetono Molto Soprattutto Improvvivsando. Il Gruppo Registra "Buck Nacked" Realizzato Nel 1988 E Registrato In Scantinati E In Camere Da Leto. Una Sera A Toronto Ed E Steve Invitano Dei Loro Amici Il Percussionista Andy Creeggan Ed Il Bassista Jim Creeggan Loro Saranno I Nuovi Componenti Del Gruppo. "Barenaked Lunch" È Stato Realizzato Nel 1990 Ed È Stato Caretterizzato Dall'entrata In Scena Dei Nuovi Due. Purtroppo La Registrazione Viene Eseguita In Modo Poco Corretto. Dopo Sei Mesi Andy Parte Per Un Viaggio In Ecuador E Il Gruppo Perde Il Percussionista. Mentre Parteciapano Ad Un Festival Nell' Estate Del 1990 Conoscono Tyler Stewart Che Ha Assunto Il Posto Di Percussionista. Mentre Andy Era Via Il Gruppo Ha Guadagnato Una Certa Attenzione Quando Ha Vinto Nel 1990 I YTV Achievement Awards. Quando Nel 1991 Andy Ritorna Si Preoccupa Un Po' Dei Cambiamenti Ma Questo Lo Porta Ad Avvicinarsi Alle Tastiere Benché Ancora Si Divertisse Con Le Percussioni Solitamente Congas Su Alcune Canzoni. Il Gruppo Intraprende Molto Velocemente Il Primo Tour In Canada. La Prima Canzone Realizzata Dall'intero Gruppo È "Yellow Tape" Nel 1991 È La Prima Registrazione Caratterizzata Dai Cinque Membri. Hanno Speso Tra $20.000/$30.000 Per Questa Canzone E Ne Hanno Inviato Una Copia A Tutte Le Etichette Del Canada Ma Sono Stati Rifiutati Da Tutti Ma Grazie Al Passaparola La Gente Inizia A Chiederla. Solo Grazie A Questo Il Gruppo Raggiunge Il Platino 100.000 Copie In Canada.

Frogtoon Musica - Informazioni sulla canzone: One Week

"One Week" Is A 1998 Hit Single By Barenaked Ladies. It Is Often Regarded As The Song That Propelled The Band To Superstar Status Outside Canada. One Reason For The Song's Popularity Was The Large Number Of Pop Culture References Worked Into The Lyrics. It Remains The Band's Biggest Hit To Date. The Song Gained Renewed Popularity When It Was Featured In An Ad For The Mitsubishi Lancer With Groups Of Young People In The Car Seeming To Sing Along Until They Could Not Keep Up With The Rapid-Fire Lyrics. It Was Featured In The Third Installment Of Big Shiny Tunes. Ed Robertson Wrote The Ideas For The Non-Rap 'choruses' With The Concept Being The Structure Of A Fight Where The Protagonist Knows They Are Wrong And Is Just Trying To Save Face. He Wanted To Come Up With A Rapping Verse For The Song But All Attempts Failed. Bandmate Steven Page Suggested He Simply Improvise The Rap As The Two Commonly Did Onstage Every Night. Robertson Heeded The Advice And Set Up A Video Camera. He Improvised The Song At A Slower Pace To Make Rhyming Easier And Arrived At About Four Minutes Of Rap. He Sent It To Page Who Told Him Not To Change A Word. Two Minutes Of The Improvising Was Almost Directly Compiled With Very Little If Any Tweaking Into The Verses Of The Song. As It Is Improvised It Is Not Intended To Directly Have Any Relation To The Plot Of The Chorus Sections. The Liner Notes From Stunt Contain Some Of The Additional Lyrics That Did Not Make It Into The Recorded Version. In Recent Performances The Band Has Developed An Acoustic Bluegrass Version Of The Song. It Is Used In A New Performance Setting They Developed In 2003 In Which They Play Acoustically While They Stand Around And Sing Into One Omni-Directional Microphone. Although The Song Reached The Top 3 Of The Billboard Hot 100 On September 22 1998 And Reached #1 On October 6 It Peaked At Number Nine On The Canadian Singles Chart Partly Because Of Limited Promotion. It Also Topped The Modern Rock Tracks For Five Non-Consecutive Weeks.
