Biography
Lowest Of the Low, which comprises David Alexander, Ron Hawkins, Lawrence Nichols, Michael McKenzie, and Greg Smith, has been selling out shows across Canada and the U.S. for years. Their enduring impact was further cemented in 2024 with the release of the Apple TV+ documentary
Subversives – The History of the Lowest of the Low.
While the band has never been one to dwell on the past, their legacy in Canadian indie rock is nothing short of iconic. Their 1991 platinum-selling debut album,
Shakespeare My Butt, remains a landmark in Canadian indie music, earning a Top 10 spot on
Chart Magazine’s 100 Greatest Canadian Albums of All Time on three separate occasions. The record's sharp wit, infectious hooks, and airtight harmonies propelled it to become the best-selling independent release in Canadian history at the time.
