They are two of the biggest pop-rock bands of the nineties, and they are coming to Duluth for a throwback show that will force you to break out your ripped jeans and favorite flannel!

Barenaked Ladies (often shortened to BNL) carved a quirky path in the '90s music scene with their blend of witty lyrics, pop-rock melodies, and some improvisational humor. Their breakout hits like "If I Had $1000000" and "One Week" combined rapid-fire wordplay, catchy hooks, and a lighthearted energy that set them apart from the grunge-dominated era.

Toad the Wet Sprocket was a notable band within the 90s alternative rock scene, known for their introspective songwriting, gentle melodies, and overall laid-back sound. With songs like "Walk on the Ocean" and "All I Want," they provided some relief to the loud, distorted sound of grunge that dominated the era.

Bonus Fun Fact about Barenaked Ladies

The Barenaked Ladies were the first band to headline a show at the Xcel Energy Center on September 30th, 2000.

I've seen them live twice, and met them backstage, and they are a fun group of guys that put on a really fun live show.
