Crash Test Dummies in Nanaimo

Crash Test Dummies are a Canadian alternative rock and folk-rock band formed in Winnipeg in 1988. Their debut album, The Ghosts That Haunt Me, produced “Superman’s Song,” while God Shuffled His Feet featured “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” and “Afternoons & Coffeespoons.” Brad Roberts’s bass-baritone voice is central to the band’s sound. The band toured internationally behind God Shuffled His Feet and performed at Woodstock ’94. In 2018, Crash Test Dummies returned to concert touring for shows marking the album’s 25th anniversary, followed by further dates in North America and Europe. Crash Test Dummies perform as a full rock band, centering the arrangements on Roberts’s voice while also giving lead-vocal parts to Ellen Reid.
