The four-year rise to fame of toronto's Our Lady Peacehas not been a loud ruckus of more than 400 live shows and thecheers of over half a million concert goers served. For a band that signed its record deal on the strength of songs, not shows, Our Lady Peace has been busy catching up. Since The releasee of its debut, NAVEED, Our Lady Peace has shared the stage with acts like Alanis Morissette (at her request), Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Van Halen, Page and Plant, 54-40 and I Mother Earth, as well as keeping the fans happy with morethan a few cross-country jaunts of its own. It wasn't all work and no reward. The band swept 1995's CASBY Awards, winning Favourite New Artist, Favourite New Release and Favourite New Song ("Naveed") as well as Best Song of the Year ("Starseed") at the Q107 Rock Awards.
During this exciting time, Our Lady Peace recruited a new bassist to replace departing member Chris Eacrett. Duncan Coutts had actually auditioned for the band in the early days, but opted to stay in school. His addition to the group also brought cello and piano to the mix, Plus, his family's cottage provided a nice, relaxed setting for writting the follow-up release, CLUMSY. If there were any doubts that Our Lady Peace was one of Canada's most popular bands, Clumsy surely silenced them. Over 100,000 fans scooped up the disc within a month of release, and the first single, "Superman's Dead", dominated the MuchMusic charts for weeks. Of all the bands in the world, Our Lady Peace is consistently one of the most sought-out ones on the Internet (Ultimate Band List puts OLP in the Top 100 requested list).
