too long to post all but here are a few fun facts. Some we know, others not.


1.4 - Who are the band's influences?

The musical influences for each member of Our Lady Peace are very diverse. Raine Maida admires many female
vocalists such as Bjork, Tori Amos, Sheila Chandra, and Sinead O' Connor as well as male vocalists Jeff Buckley
and Otis Redding. Mike Turner was influenced by such punk bands as The Sex Pistols, The Jam and Boomtown
Rats. Jeremy Taggart was brought up listening to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Chris Eacrett brought to the mix
a heavy metal bass influence by listening to such band as Rage Against The Machine, and Living Color.


1.5 - What were the band members doing before OLP?

Raine was at the University of Toronto, majoring in criminology. Chris was studying marketing at Ryerson
University in Toronto, while Jeremy was finishing high school. Mike, who is originally from Bradford, England,
was working in a machine shop. He has a degree in English from the University of Western Ontario. Duncan was
working as a set dresser for the TV series Due South and playing in the band Blue Heavies.


1.6 - Why did Chris Eacrett leave?

The band and Chris felt that they were moving in different directions, both musically and personally and decided it
would be best if they parted ways.

2.1 - How did Our Lady Peace get signed?

With limited finances, the band went to Arnyard Studios to record a three-song demo. Raine and a friend passed
the demo tape around to several labels at New York CMJ music conference in 1993. Geffen and Interscope
showed an interest in the band which then caught the attention of other labels including Sony Music Canada. The
band ended up signing with Sony in Canada and later with Relativity Records in the United States

OMG. I actually worked the CMJ that year. Imagine if I actually saw raine but didn't know it was him.. now that would be funny. well actually I didn;t hear of OLP till 95'

2.6 - Where can I find the song "Mona Lisa"?

This song is NOT an OLP song, but a song written by Sons Of Freedom, a band from Vancouver. OLP has
performed this song in concert before.


2.7 - What happened to the songs "Out of Here", "Anacin", "Spider Gun", "Disgusted", "Home" and "Trapeze"?

"Out of Here" was a song that OLP recorded an independent music video for before they were signed to Sony
Music (see 2.6). "Anacin" was renamed "Story of a 100 Aisles". "Spider Gun" was renamed "Disgusted", and then
renamed again to "Shaking" for the release of Clumsy. "Home" and "Trapeze" were played during the band's short
summer 96 tour with Alanis. Although these 2 songs were recorded during the making of Clumsy, they did not
make it onto the album. It is possible that they will be released at a later time.

3.7 - Where was the Starseed video shot?

The video was shot at the old Sears warehouse in Toronto. Interestingly, during the filming, there was an accident
involving the lighting box. The lighting box was about three stories above the band and was set up to move up and
down, as seen in the video. Part of the box fell downward, just missing Mike and Jeremy's heads. No one was
injured.

Anacin? hahahaha nice!

[Tattooed Angels]

Anacin? hahahaha nice!

that is funny cause that is all they say in that song..
and Disgusted became Big Dumb Rocket, not Shaking..

I actually have the winnipeg show where you get Disgusted and Home..

[naveed99]

Disgusted is big dumb rocket isnt it? Does it sound much diff. then the finished version?

[Furious George]

I always thought it made sense that "Disgusted" turned into "Shaking" because of the line where Raine says "I'm disgusted by the thought of waiting anymore"..but apparently I was wrong.

Also, it's kinda freaky how that lighting box barely missed jeremy and mike, wonder how things woulda turned out if it hadn't - someone should ask jeremy about this sometime.

You do realize this was over a decade ago...?

[Waiting to Exist]

I always thought it made sense that "Disgusted" turned into "Shaking" because of the line where Raine says "I'm disgusted by the thought of waiting anymore"..but apparently I was wrong..

Uhh... that line is from Big Dumb Rocket. So it makes sense that Disgusted would turn into Big Dumb Rocket, I think you mean.

???
