About this concert
Het aangrijpende verhaal achter ‘Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm’ uit 1994 was de oorzaak van het succes van de band met een van de meest hilarische bandnamen uit de geschiedenis. De Canadese folkrockgroep Crash Test Dummies kwam door haar wereldhit aan een status waar ze 30 jaar later nog steeds genoeg aan hebben.
In 2018, 25 jaar na de release van hun voor meerdere Grammy’s genomineerde hitalbum ‘God Shuffled His Feet’, gingen de Crash Test Dummies voor het eerst in 20 jaar de weg op met een Anniversary Tour door Noord-Amerika. Dit leidde tot een 30th Anniversary Tour in 2022, voor hun debuutrelease ‘The Ghosts That Haunt Me’.
De band toont geen tekenen van vertraging: “Opnieuw toeren was niet iets wat we van plan waren, maar verrassend genoeg zijn er veel mensen die vele jaren later nog steeds willen komen om ons te horen. De mensen die naar deze shows komen kijken vertellen ons verhalen, sommige erg grappig, sommige erg donker en allemaal erg persoonlijk. Het heeft ons geïnspireerd om te blijven toeren en muziek te maken,” zegt leadzanger en songwriter Brad Roberts.

Unbelievably great. One of my favorite concerts ever. They sound amazing but just so comfortable and at ease on the stage, with each other, and with the crowd. Would have gone again the next night of life didn’t get in the way. Looking forward to seeing them again at some point!

Crash Test Dummies Biography
Formed in 1989 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the group quickly signed to a major label and released their debut album, The Ghosts that Haunt Me, on April 5, 1991. An unusual combination of folk-rock stylings with witty and offbeat lyrics and the attention-grabbing voice of vocalist Brad Roberts, the album became one of the year's best-selling records in Canada on the strength of the hit single "Superman's Song". It has sold nearly 500,000 copies in Canada, and won that year's Juno Award for Group of the Year.
"God Shuffled His Feet" has been the Crash Test Dummies' most successful album to date
On October 15, 1993, they released the follow-up, the more polished and matured God Shuffled His Feet. It was also a success, with the first single, "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", becoming a major pop hit internationally as well as in Canada and parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic under the title "Headline News". The title track, "Afternoons and Coffeespoons", and "Swimming in Your Ocean" were also major hits on the Canadian pop charts, although they didn't follow suit outside of North America. The album would go on to sell nearly six million copies in America, and nearly ten million worldwide.
On October 2, 1996, A Worm's Life, their most overtly hard guitar-rock album, proved to be the beginning of the end for the band's commercial fortunes, selling poorly compared to its two predecessors and only spawning the minor hits "He Liked to Feel It" (with a video featuring a young boy finding ways to pull out his baby teeth) and "My Own Sunrise". It ended up selling two or three million copies worldwide.
Give Yourself a Hand, released on March 23, 1999, confirmed this decline -- although it included the Canadian radio hit "Keep a Lid on Things", the album's experiments in R&B and electronic dance music garnered the most negative reviews of the band's career, and sold poorly.
The Crash Test Dummies moved into new territority releasing a mainly Country influenced album entitled I Don't Care That You Don't Mind which marked Brad Roberts return to form after a fairly serious car accident. Jingle All The Way followed which was a re-release of Christmas Carol renditions. In 2003 Puss 'N' Boots was released which harkened back to their original style, but arguably lacked the quirkiness and appeal of the early releases. The band's final release, Songs of the Unforgiven was a very sombre affair with dark lyrics heavily featuring death as the topic over a mostly simple acoustic backing track.
Although it was mooted that Songs of the Unforgiven would be the last album by the Crash Test Dummies, the band has never officially disbanded, mainly due to the very fluid nature of the band members. The only constant member was lead singer Brad Roberts who admitted in early 2006 that it was highly unlikely to see another release by the CTD.
Many members of the Crash Test Dummies have continued to work in the music industry releasing solo material, possibly most noticeably Ben Darvill who as Son Of Dave tours extensively supporting larger acts such as Supergrass in the UK.
Brad Roberts has since released a solo "live" album, under the name Crash test Dude.
