Album Notes

The Arrogant Worms are a three-man musical comedy troupe. Using only guitar, bass, great stage presence, super-tight harmonies and the sharpest of wit, The Worms are on a mission to make you laugh. Since 1991 they have provided tuneful and silly escapism all over North America, The United Kingdom and Australia in venues of all shapes and sizes - from smaller rooms to theatres to arenas to Disney to Central Park to The Grand Canyon. They have shared the stage over the years with the brightest lights and dimmest bulbs of the music industry and no one got hurt. The Worms (Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson, Trevor Strong) have entertained at corporate events, sung anthems at sporting events and emceed at major festivals. No matter where they are, they are having fun and the audience is too.

The Arrogant Worms have become part of the fabric of their Canadian homeland. Their songs are used in lesson plans across the country and some have been included in textbooks. Their song “Dangerous” was played aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour for astronaut and fan Chris Hadfield. The youth of Canada have voted them the most popular band on a national radio show. The band that came in second was AC/DC.

The Arrogant Worms were recognized in 2003 as the Touring Act of the Year by the Canadian Arts Presenters Association. However, their biggest honour came in 2005 though when they read in the New York Times that Carrie Fisher and Meg Ryan were singing along with the Worms on a driving trip in Newfoundland. Princess Leia!! And Sally!! That’s just crazy.

A live Worms experience is high-energy, playful, clean and clever with plenty of audience participation and interaction. The Arrogant Worms have shamelessly decided that the world needs The Arrogant Worms. And so they will continue to travel the world extolling the virtues of the noble cow, taking Celine Dion down a notch and singing twisted lullabies to children.
