Refugee 7 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Barenaked Ladies vocalist Steven Page, who last summer was arrested for cocaine possession, is leaving the group to pursue a solo career. "By mutual agreement, Steven Page will be parting company with the remaining members of Barenaked Ladies," reads a message posted at the band's website. "Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart will continue recording and touring together as Barenaked Ladies. Steven Page will pursue solo projects including theatrical opportunities while the band enters the studio in April 2009, and hits the road in the fall." "These guys are my brothers," Page said in the message. "We've grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future." Group member Ed Robertson, also via the website message, said: "It's the start of a new chapter for all of us. Here's to the future!" Page's arrest last June came just a few weeks after BNL release its first children's album, "Snack Time." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weird monkey 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not quite getting the humor in the article's title, so I'll compliment you on your title instead, Linda. It's new isn't it? You could be Queen of the Knobs, like Vince is King of the Mods. Actually, you could be Queen of the Mods too! :029: (I hope the link works, or I'm in deep deep trouble, with lots of 'splainin' to do) http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/comedy/mightyboosh/ram/mightyboosh_s1_ep5?size=16x9&bgc=000000&bbwm=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1&nbram=1&st=no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angelic_22 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Wow is this what journalism has come to? Live daily should re-evaluate their calling. I mean the info about the artistic endeavors is all good but tossing in that thing about getting busted for coke two times in the same short article makes it read like something out of a tabloid. Perhaps it is. It isn't even pertinent to the story. Coke. I wonder why they would do such a thing. Coke. Anyone [coke] have an idea? Coke. Hey this is fun. [coke].
