"In 1993 Our Lady Peace's first album NAVEED was born. Eleven songs recorded with (Producer) Arnold Lanni in a small unassuming studio in Toronto, The four of us had hardly played a dozen shows together and suddenly we were making music ... and someone else was paying for it."
The band spent the next two-and-a-half years on the road. "In that time period we played 350 shows and, according to our road manager, traveled about 230,000 miles. We were playing with a bunch of different bands (Bush, Elastica and The Ramones) when we were told that Robert Plant had heard our song Starseed on the radio."
We finally stopped touring Naveed after supporting Alanis Morissette in Canada last summer." The Alanis support slot was a personal invitation.

"Ultimately, you have to make a record that you're happy with, because if it stiffs, you're the only one that has it in your CD collection and you better be able to listen to it."
"We went back into that same studio with our producer friend and made Clumsy. Clumsy is about making decisions. There is a connection between the song Clumsy and it being the title of the album.
