The Tragically Hip

Frequently compared to U.S. 80s alt-rock counterparts R.E.M., Canada’s Tragically Hip spent more than three decades together recording numerous genre-defining albums. From 1984 to 2016, Rob Baker, Gord Downie, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, and Gord Sinclair earned critical praise, a global fanbase, and a spot as the best-selling Canadian band in all of Canada (not to mention the fourth best-selling artist overall). Even Canada’s Prime Minister attended the Hip’s final concert, which was broadcast live to millions across the country.

Forming in 1984 in Kingston, Ontario, the Tragically Hip began as a project between Gord Sinclair and Rob Baker, who met as students. Eventually, they joined up with Downie and Fay and started gigging around Kingston and named their band after a skit in the 1981 film Elephant Parts. In the mid-’80s, the band was discovered by then-MCA Vice President Bruce Dickinson at Toronto venue the Horseshoe Tavern, and they recorded their first self-titled EP, which housed two singles: “Small Town Bring-Down” and “Highway Girl.” In 198

Formed in their collective hometown of Kingston, Ont., in 1983, The Hip took their name from a skit in the Michael Nesmith movie Elephant Parts. Guitarist Paul Langlois joined in 1986, while saxophonist Davis Manning left that same year.

In the mid ’80s they performed in small music venues across Ontario before being discovered by MCA, which signed the band to a long-term record deal, and their first recording was the self-titled EP The Tragically Hip.

They followed up with 1989’s Up to Here, an album that produced four singles, “Blow At High Dough,” “New Orleans Is Sinking,” “38 Years Old” and “Boots or Hearts.” All four songs became staples of modern rock radio playlists in Canada. Road Apples followed in 1991, producing three singles (“Little Bones,” “Twist My Arm” and “Three Pistols”) and reaching #1 on Canadian record charts.

A year later, in 1992, they released Fully Completely, which produced the singles, “Locked in the Trunk of a Car,” “Courage” and “At the Hundredth Meridian.” The Hip created and headlined the first Another Roadside Attraction festi

Tragically Hip Doc Shows Why They Should’ve Been More Than Canada’s Favorite Band

On Sept. 5, 1989, the Tragically Hip, arguably Canada’s most influential and culturally significant rock band, released their debut studio album Up to Here. Exactly 35 years to the day, the four surviving members of the group gathered at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre to screen a documentary that charts their incendiary career, The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal.

“It’s not the dream of an artist, where you’re maybe seeking perfection,” guitarist Rob Baker tells Rolling Stone. “The dream was to be onstage in front of people, with my friends and rocking out — we achieved that dream fairly early and lived it for a long time.”

“We were always incremental — gig by gig, record by record, tour by tour,” adds bassist Gord Sinclair. “We always had our eye on the near horizon. And it’s kind of like we’ve woken up [now], where you look back and say, ‘That’s a lot of horizons.&r
