Why see Crash Test Dummies?
Playing All The Hits
Perhaps the only band in the history of '90s p-p rock able to make a hit single chorus out of an onomatopoeic word, Canadian rock quintet Crash Test Dummies defied grammatical conventions with the success of their 1993 song 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm', becoming alt-rock icons in the platinum-certified process. Nine studio albums later and the band are back on the road, bringing their extensive back catalog to you!
A chance not only to hear their defining single in all its oddball glory live, fans will also be able to hear tunes like 'Superman's Song' and 'The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead' when Brad Roberts and co. perform the album in its entirety. Fusing folk and blues elements with Robert's distinctive and deep baritone vocal style, as well as his unique way of pronouncing every syllable and off-the-wall lyrics that include words like 'phalanges', 'nomenclature' and 'bronchi', the veteran outfit has lost none of their wonderful weirdness, bringing a youthful sense of fun to their live shows.

Superb show
Fantastic midweek show at the State Room. I was somewhat expecting a typical comeback show from a 90's alt-rock band - washed out if not washed up - but I was mistaken: The show was really entertaining. I forgot how much I like Brad Roberts' odd poetic lyrics. His bass-baritone voice was slightly less powerful than in their heyday but still strong and weirdly haunting, yet comedic at times. Ellen Reid is the perfect wing-woman and her contributions, both backing and lead, were also superb. The band was a mix of original, near original, and new musicians - all contributed beautifully. See them if you have the opportunity. ... Read more

Perfect Evening!!
I wish I could have given more than 5 stars! This concert was absolutely fabulous from the opening act, Carleton Stone, to the amazing experience of listening to the INCREDIBLE voices and music of the Crash Test Dummies. It was the perfect blend of Holiday tunes and their timeless classic hits.
Regent was a great venue for this concert, the sound and lights were fantastic….as was being able to take beverages to our seats!
For sure a very heartwarming evening!â™¥ï¸ ... Read more

Simply Outstanding
We waited close to 2 years due to Corvid delays, but it was well worth it. Any seat was great - But we managed to find awesome close vacant seats because I assume many of the original ticket purchasers simply could not make the changed concert dates. They were tight and on the mark as well as adding some really fun variations. A real highlight was meeting Mitch Dorge in person who was wandering amongst the crowd after the show. He was especially forthcoming and friendly and shared allot of interesting info about the CTD. We can't wait till the next time they come by to Dallas! ... Read more
