Barenaked Ladies were founded in 1988 by singer-guitarists Steven Page and Ed Robertson. The group has a reputation as one of the best live acts out there with their genre-hopping style. They hit the road to support their latest, 'Barenaked Ladies Are Me.'
Ministry

Industrial pioneers Ministry hit the road for what will be their last world tour in support their final studio release, 'The Last Sucker.' Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker formed Ministry in 1979 as a post-punk dance unit playing fast, aggressive music in the style of British New Wavers Wire, Killing Joke and the Slits. Over the course of eleven albums and over a dozen tours, Jourgensen, Barker and the rest of the band have left scars on musical genres ranging from dance to alternative to industrial to metal. Ministry continued to write new chapters in the handbook of sonic devastation with the 2003 album 'Animositisomina,' 2004's 'Houses of the Mole' and 2006' 'Rio Grande Blood.' Al Jourgensen has also recorded and performed under other such side project names as Revolting Cocks and 1000 Homo DJ's. Meshuggah was formed in 1987 in Umea, Sweden.

Canadian sisters Tegan and Sara Quin started performing together in the mid-90s, using their school's recording studio to create two demo albums, 'Who's in Your Band?' and 'Play Day.' They gained wider attention in 1998, winning the Garage Warz Battle of the Bands, a local music competition in Calgary. Since then they have toured with such acts as Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright, Kaki King, The Pretenders, Ben Folds, The Killers, Gogol Bordello, Hot Hot Heat, Ryan Adams and Weezer, also appearing at Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair. The duo are touring behind their fifth album, 'The Con,' which was co-produced by Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie.
