All in Good Time is the Barenaked Ladies’ eleventh album and their first as a four-piece featuring Ed Robertson (guitar/vocals), Jim Creeggan (bass/vocals), Kevin Hearn (keyboard/guitar/vocals) and Tyler Stewart (drums/vocals). The album was recorded in Toronto and produced by long time BNL collaborator Michael Phillip Wojewoda, who produced the band’s very first full length CD, 1992’s Gordon. Founded as a duo in 1988 by schoolmates Ed Robertson and Steven Page, the past twenty years have seen Barenaked Ladies rack up eight Juno Awards, multiple Grammy nominations and sell more than 14 million albums worldwide. These albums include Gordon, Rock Spectacle, Stunt and Maroon whilst the band’s hit singles include “One Week,” “Pinch Me” and “If I Had $1000000”).

All In Good Time is released on Raisin’ Records/EMI on April 26th in the UK. For more information please go to www.barenakedladies.com

Wooooooooooohhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooo
!!!!!!!!!

[Philip]

I second your Woho.

[Liam]

Which shows will you go to, Phillip?

At the moment I'm definitely doing Bristol, Birmingham and London - but I am not ruling any out just yet (OK... maybe Dublin).

[Philip]

Bristol is a definite and then trying to work out which others we might do.

[Cynful1]

YipppEEEEE!!!!!

I'm trying to calculate if following BNL from London through to Dublin would be simple enough, but I have no idea, so I'll pop over to Liam's BNLUK site and get some more opinions over there.

If we can get from London all the way through to Glasgow using either a rental car or public transportation (metro, rails, bus, etc.), then we would fly over to Dublin for that concert before coming home.

Any thoughts about how plausible this would be?

[Peter]

Thanks for posting that Philip, that's great news. I shall be attending the Dublin show with my brother and sister.

[Liam]

Awesome. :)

Pre-sales apparently start tomorrow for LR members and o2 customers. There's not too much info though (i.e.: where they will be available, I assume there's some super-secret section of the LR site for members only?) I'm not a member yet but I may sign up tonight and hope that more goodies are thrown our way over the next 12 months. :)

Well,
if you want to sign up just because of the presale, you don´t have to: just tell me which tickets, and I can order them for you when I´m ordering mine tomorrow.

BTW LR: anybody in Europe got their welcome-package yet?

[Peter]

I got the cd + letter explaining the rest (t-shirt etc.) will be sent on when the items are available. I think that was early last week or the week before.

[Liam]

Thanks Mike. :) I think I will wait for Friday, thinking about it. Then I don't have to be a PITA ;)

Got a couple of tix this morning. Very exciting! Will get the rest on Fri :)

[Philip]

Got ticks for Bristol and London.

[bearnaked]

Hi!

I have a problem: I wanted a Barenaked VIP-Ticket for Colston Hall in Bristol, but these tickets only come with balcony seats. And you are not allowed to „downgrade“ and go down to the general admission standing section (due to fire regulations to avoid overcrowding).

Since the VIP ticket is expensive enough, I don´t want to buy an additional GA ticket. I have to at least try to save enough money for the cruise ;)

My question: anybody keen on sitting front row balcony, almost centre, and swaping his/her GA standing ticket stub with my balcony ticket stub after the meet & greet (which is all I´m after...). Signed CD comes with that as a bonus; we can negotiate about the TShirt.

[Liam]

BUMP with some cool news...

Joel Plaskett will be the support act for the UK tour. :)

Cool!

[Liam]

Just had word he won't be the support in Glasgow, hopefully details of that show will emerge soon. :)

Joel embarks on a UK tour this July through to August, so check him out if he's near you!

If you're not familiar with Joel Plaskett then this is a good place to start - one of my fav songs of his: http://youtu.be/01QokNUzDho

I did a little write-up on him at www.bnluk.net :)
