The Tragically Hip at Live 8
TThe Tragically Hip is a Canadian rock band from
Kingston, Ontario.
The Tragically Hip - often referred to simply as The Hip - consist of
Rob Baker (guitar), Gordon Downie (vocals, guitar), Johnny Fay (drums),
Paul Langlois (guitar), and Gord Sinclair (bass). Formed in 1983, they
took their name from a skit in the movie Elephant Parts by Michael Nesmith
of The Monkees.
They were signed by MCA in 1987 when Bruce Dickinson saw them perform
live at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Ontario. Later that year they
released the EP The Tragically Hip, though they were largely unrecognized
until 1989's Up To Here. Up To Here established them as one of the best
and most influential bands in Canada. In 1992 they created the Another
Roadside Attraction festival, which tours Canada to promote small, unknown
bands.
The band is immensely popular in Canada. They have never found success
in the United States, but have never specifically sought it. When touring
in Canada they typically play to sold-out arenas; when touring in the
United States they will play smaller venues and clubs. Performances abroad
are usually attended by Canadian expatriates. The tone and content of
their music is a paean to the Canadian experience and touches on small-town
life, geography, and hockey.
However, the live album Live Between Us was recorded in Detroit, Michigan
in 1996, and they have a small following mostly along the border in Michigan
and New York. They also performed at Woodstock 1999. In 1996, the Hip
also released a new record, Trouble at the Henhouse.
Singer Gord Downie has released two solo albums, in 2001 and 2003, called
Coke Machine Glow and Battle of the Nudes, respectively.
The Tragically Hip's most recent album is In Between Evolution, which
was released on June 29th, 2004. This marked a return to their classic
sound, after some of the experiments made on their last 2 records.
In 2005 they made a cameo appearance in an episode of the sitcom, Corner
Gas. They have a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame and on April 3, 2005
were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the 2005 Juno Awards.
In 2005, a band containing Bobby Baker and others formed and released
their self-titled album: Stripper's Union Local 518.
