Los Angeles, CA (April 26, 2010) – Multi-platinum pop rock group the BARENAKED LADIES have announced dates for a summer tour, set to kick off July 8 at Harrah’s in Council Bluffs, IA.. On select dates, the rollicking road show will feature special guests Kris Allen, Ben Kweller and Angel Taylor. As a special bonus, every online ticket transaction will include a download of BNL’s new album ALL IN GOOD TIME (Raisin’ Records/EMI), which recently debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Independent Album Chart and No. 23 on the Billboard Top 200, plus a bonus track
The tour will see Barenaked Ladies playing a mix of classics and new favorites, including hit single, “You Run Away,” which they recently performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Today Show” and “Live with Regis and Kelly.” The video for the song can be viewed here: http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/barenaked-ladies/you-run-away--218644790
Barenaked Ladies recently launched their new fan club, The Ladies Room. Benefits of membership include priority access to ticket presales and VIP ticket packages. Released on March 30, ALL IN GOOD TIME was recorded with the band's longtime producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda and mixed by Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, David Bowie). It’s the 11th studio album from this Canadian institution and their first as a four-piece. Fourteen bold and adventurous new tracks find Ed Robertson (guitar/vocals), Jim Creeggan (bass/vocals), Kevin Hearn (keyboard/guitar/vocals) and Tyler Stewart (drums/vocals) exploring a very creative and fertile phase of their careers.
"It is absolutely a rebirth and reinvention of the band," Robertson recently told Billboard. "It was something we'd worked hard at for 20 years."
Over the course of the past twenty-one years, Barenaked Ladies have racked up eight Juno Awards and multiple Grammy nominations, sold more than 14 million albums worldwide, written a plethora of hit singles (including “One Week,” “Pinch Me” and “If I Had $1000000”) and amassed an international fanbase whose members number in the millions. The band also wrote and recorded the theme song to the hit CBS television series, “The Big Bang Theory.”
