I have to admit I am a Barenaked Ladies fan. its been true since early high school. 2008 and 2009 have been interesting (in a gypsy curse kind of way) year for the band though, with the decision that Steve Page was to leave the band.

The remaining members of BNL go on, but they definitely need to re-find themselves as a four piece. Steve’s voice was one of the most distinctive parts of the band and although they still have strong vocals in Ed Robertson, they need to find out how to fill in the gaps in their call and response songs and their harmonies.

Comparing the last show (on land) that BNL did on New Years in Detroit to their first show, at universal studios, without Steve some holes are obvious. listen to both Million Dollars (traditionally a both Ed and Steve song) -  both old apartments (a Steve song), or even both Testing 1,2,3s (an ed song)
