You’d think Barenaked Ladies had racked up enough mileage on the touring odometer, what with the “Last Summer On Earth Tour” featuring Ben Folds Five and Guster.  But band members Ed Robertson, Kevin Hearn, Tyler Stewart and Jim Creeggan want more shows, more cities, more … fun in the form of a headlining tour in support of the their latest album (and first Vanguard release) Grinning Streak available now.

In fact, you may have already heard the album’s second single.  Barenaked Ladies recently performed the tune, “Odds Are,” on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.”
