The Barenaked Truth DVD The Barenaked Ladies Canadian Music Group Documentary

The Barenaked Truth DVD The Barenaked Ladies Music Group Documentary 1 hour 20 minutes It's hard to believe upon listening to the charming pop music of Canadian group the Barenaked Ladies that they were once censored by the mayor of Toronto, who forbid them to play a scheduled show due to their suggestive name. But that's precisely what happened upon the release of their debut record, 1992's GORDON, affording the kind of publicity that money can't buy, and the group has only increased in popularity ever since. Now well over a decade into their career, the Ladies have grown up, adding a new depth to their comedic music, which they have been playing since high school; this journey from basement to stadium is relayed here in an intimate, revealing biography. The memories and anecdotes of members Steven Page, Ed Robertson, Jim and Andy Creeggan, Tyler Stewart, and Kevin Hearn are complemented by the stories of family and friends. All this is set to the music that captured '90s suburban teenage-hood for a generation, and that continues to evoke the humour, poignancy, and ache of life in its catchy pop melodies and clever lyrics.
