It's been nine years since Steven Page's acrimonious split from the Barenaked Ladies, the group he fronted to become one of the bestselling Canadian acts of all time.
With less than one week to go before Page reunites with his former bandmates for a special performance at the Juno Awards on March 25, who will be inducting BNL into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, he's feeling a mix of "peace and terror."
"I'm terrified," he says in a interview with q's Tom Power. "This is the first time I will be in the same room as those guys in nine years."
While he's been communicating with Ed Robertson, Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn and Tyler Stewart and sharing some laughs over text, he knows full well that things will be different. BNL, for their part, have released five albums without Page.
"I know I'm not going to go there and it's not it's going to be like, 'hey let's just pick up where we left off.' But there are some elements of that and I'm excited for what I've done with those guys," he says.
