Barenaked Ladies Plan ‘Last Summer On Earth’

Spending just over a month on the road, Barenaked Ladies will offer an instant download of the group’s new single – “Boomerang” – and a voucher for the group’s new album.

The band has dubbed the six-week outing “Last Summer On Earth,” a title the group used on its 2012 tour in reference to all the Mayan Calendar/end of the world talk circulating at that time.  Then again, maybe the Mayans were off by a year and only Barenaked Ladies are privy to the information.  One never knows when dealing with concerts and apocalyptic forecasts.
