Our Lady Peace remains one of the most popular and successful Canadian outfits out there, which is how they continue to dominate the Canadian charts and tour throughout March in support of their 2009 release, Burn Burn. If you want to burn with the passion that Our Lady Peace leaves onstage after every concert, get Our Lady Peace tickets online, because you certainly won't regret it. Luckily for StubHub shoppers, this alternative rock band, which has only seen moderate success in the United States, performs both in their home country and in the States.
Burning their place into venues stateside, alt-rockers Our Lady Peace have extended their tour since supporting it last summer in Canada and in the US. In addition to festival performances, the group has remained busy with new studio releases since its inception in the early '90s. While it was their seventh studio set, the band made a return toward their golden years as they approached nearly two decades together. Self-produced in the lead singer's Los Angeles home studio, the group marked this self-deemed "philosophical rebirth" as they step into a sound created only for themselves.
"I think about the way we made Naveed [the debut album]," lead singer Raine Maida said on Our Lady Peace's MySpace page. "We were just starting, we knew nothing about the business and we had no expectations. It was four guys in a room just trusting their instincts. We went back to that. 'Liberating' doesn't really sum it up." Now they stand supporting Burn Burn with the full gusto they once felt in support of the debut.
Our Lady Peace opened as an act at the University of Toronto with vocalist Maida and guitarist Mike Turner. Performing under the name "As If," the group asked bassist Chris Eacrett and jazz drummer Jeremy Taggart to play as they dedicated their new name to a Mark Van Doren poem. The new bassist, Duncan Coutts, joined following the group's debut album, a set that appeared on Sony Records' Canadian branch and Relativity in America. As they promoted Naveed in the States with a tour supporting Alanis Morissette in the summer of 1995, the group added Coutts as a way to successfully mash out the sophomore Clumsy.
The sophomore set marked a rarity in the music industry as Clumsy went platinum in the U.S. and diamond in Canada. The group kept their success tight as they continued with two more powerful albums in a matter of three years - Happiness is Not a Fish that You Can Catch and Spiritual Achiness. 2002's Gravity marked a turn of events as Turner left and was replaced by Steve Mazur, who brought a more commercial sound to the group.
The group saw smash hits in "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent" as they followed up with a North American tour. The next album almost tore them apart, as Maida claimed the group was obsessed with making American radio. They recovered and released the compilation album celebrating their decade together and returned in 2009 with Burn Burn.
