Quick I need 75k to hire Barenaked Ladies......

Said no one ever....

So I have a quick question for everyone. If you come into a little money and your faced with hiring some entertainment for your party. AND your only option for musical genre is " White People Music" who do you book? Smashmouth or Bare Naked Ladies??????

Both are hit machines, both absolutely dominated the 90's and both are available to play at your next private event!



Sure "The Ladies" will run you about 75k at the low end. But for around 100k your getting 7 time JUNO (Canadian Fake Grammy) award winning in your face jams! With such hits as "One Week" and and and and and that other stuff they play that won them all those JUNOs. So they didn't have a good run in the US. PER SAY. But when you win 7 again 7 JUNO Awards its speaks to a certain level of talent. Puts you in such good company as Bryan Adams and Celine Dion (I challenge a guy out there to say you didn't dig "The Titanic Song")





Now if your a fan of value then you would have to go Smashmouth. Their high end runs around 75k.  And your getting a group that got some SERIOUS radio play with jams like "All Star", "Walkin on the Sun" and a solid cover sample (I'm a Believer, Why Cant We Be Friends and Can't Get Enough of You Baby). Do they have much in awards? Nah but, clearly in the Court of Popularity they take "The Ladies" by a mile. You couldn't flip on Top 40 in the 90's and not get an earful of just feel good hits because of Smashmouth.

So there you have it overpay because of a bunch of phony Canadian Awards and get one hit or underpay and get a literal hit factory in your backyard. Choice is yours out I go Smashmouth (Dudes look like they party. Unlike the "Science Club" Barenaked Ladies)


PS : Not a hypothetical in the least but what if I was to tell you Hip Hop Mega Star MYSTIKAL is available to book for well under 20k.  And Derek has that big ole yard AND foam machines are running around 1500. You people see what Im putting down?


PPS: Look past Mystikal's Criminal Record if you can, he did his time and the last half of it was tax stuff anyway (jaywalking). Most of it doesn't even count when you got people snitching on you because they jelly anyway.

  1. CBR- maybe take a couple plays off. No way those are the best bargains. Just saturating the inter webs with stale takes.
