The Awkward Stage is a Canadian indie rock band, based in Vancouver, British Columbia and fronted by singer-songwriter Shane Nelken.
Nelken, who works as a cremationist, had a longtime side career in music as a supporting musician for artists such as A. C. Newman and Sparrow before forming his own band, which consists of Nelken with a rotating cast of other musicians. The Awkward Stage's debut album, Heaven Is for Easy Girls, was released on Mint Records in 2006 and quickly charted on Canadian campus radio and CBC Radio 3, which named the band's song "We're Going for a Ride" one of its Top 94 songs of 2006. Nelken is also an occasional contributor to Radio 3, hosting a humorous audio advice column feature for broadcast on the network titled Dear Shane.
