BNL’s Steve Page discusses his departure
Singer-guitarist Steven Page’s decision to leave the Barenaked Ladies was because he felt his contributions as a songwriter were being diminished.
The five member group had so many songwriting voices, that his was occasionally squeezed out.
“Frankly, the band itself was a five-way democracy and one of the great things about it is that it’s been about the five-way collaboration, but it’s also one of the things that’s made me decide to be a solo artist,” he said Thursday.
The Barenaked Ladies were formed in Toronto nearly 20 years ago. Their hits include “If I Had $1,000,000,” ”Brian Wilson” and “Too Little, Too Late.”
Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn and Tyler Stewart plan to continue, and have no immediate plans to replace Page. They will return to the studio in April and tour in the fall.
