The Barenaked Ladies are coming to Mission.

The popular Canadian group is bringing its Canada 1 Five 0 Tour to the Clarke Theatre on Nov. 12.

Seeing these rock icons in concert is an experience filled with the kind of energy, precision, finesse and outright celebration among its fans that is a tribute to the group’s remarkable longevity. The band is still together after nearly three decades, producing 14 studio albums which have collectively sold more than 14 million copies, won eight Juno Awards, earned multiple Grammy nominations, a U.S. chart-topping single (One Week) and the theme song to one of TV’s most popular shows, The Big Bang Theory.

“I don’t think there’s a secret,” Ed Robertson explained to People magazine last year when asked how BNL managed to not just survive, but thrive, continuing to sell out venues wherever they go.

“It’s work. You’ve got to respect each other, you got to give each other space, but you also have to support each other… This band learned early on to communicate, right from the beginning we didn’t want to burn out. We wanted to keep making music.”

The Barenaked Ladies have partnered with Plus1 so that $1 from every ticket goes to support MusiCounts (www.musicounts.ca), putting musical instruments into the hands of kids who need them most.

The Mission concert is presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment on Nov. 12 at the Clarke Theatre

Tickets are $80 and are available at all Ticketmaster locations. The show begins at 7:30 p.m.
