Growing up in
Toronto, brothers Jim and Andy Creeggan started in music by recording
cover songs of
James Brown and
George Thorogood on a rented
4-track. The brothers went on to become founding members of
Barenaked Ladies. The album "was almost a demo thing," according to Andy. "We finished it up and sent it to some friends." A second album,
The Brothers Creeggan II, followed in 1997. Three years later, the duo added a third member, drummer Ian McLauchlan, and released their third album,
Trunks. On 13 July 2009, drummer Ian McLauchlan died {{cite web ==Discography==
