So, Steven Page is out as a member of the Barenaked Ladies. I'm not sure what the band's chances are without him, but we wish everyone the best of luck. From what the band has posted on its website, there is plenty to read between the lines.

Not that we need another reason to hate thieves, but...
Hello all....
Well, I was about to start sending all the Regina Riffing readers subscripition rebate cheques, but then I figured: `What the hell. Let`s keeping this damn thing going.
So, after some personal challenges this month, I`m back. I hope to be back at my desk at work on Tuesday, and The Wolf listeners will be interested to know that Matte`s Metal Minute will return this Friday during Grindhouse a 11 p.m. As always, stay tuned here for interesting Regina music tidbits, like this one, which appeared in a recent Chart Attack. In the meantime, I`m off to enjoy some beets and another nap.
On Sunday February 15, Library Voices played to a capacity crowd at The
Media Club in Vancouver. The 10 piece pop collective are on a national
tour in support of their debut EP, Hunting Ghosts (& Other Collected
Shorts).
That night their trailer was robbed while they slept. Left unattended for
less than 3 hours in the wee hours of the morning their trailer was hacked
apart with bolt cutters and thieves made away with approximately $10000
worth of gear. Items stolen include an accordion, a saxophone, a guitar,
cabinet, head, countless pedals and cables, & misc. percussion.
In the true spirit of rock and roll the band rented and borrowed enough
gear to finish the western leg of their tour. The band is at home for a
week now to look into insurance options, replace their instruments, and
start demoing material for a fourth coming 7" before heading back out on
the road at the start of March.
