With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, Crash Test Dummies soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching number 4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centring around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion.
After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has since led to continuous touring.
The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long-standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada’s keyboard whiz-kid.
2025 will also see the band release a “Greatest Hits” double vinyl, which includes their first two new songs in fifteen years – ‘Sacred Alphabet’ and ‘When First the Heart’ – along with a live version of showstopper and fan favourite “Heart of Stone”.
