Biography

(1996 – present)

The band was formed in 1996 by brothers Ryan Dahle and Kurt Dahle, as a side project from their main band, Age of Electric. Ian Somers was the band’s other member. Their self-titled 1996 album spawned the Canadian Top 40 hits “Tinfoil”, “Vicious” and “Screwed It Up”, but the band subsequently went on hiatus when Age of Electric regrouped for their 1997 album Make a Pest a Pet.

After Age of Electric’s subsequent break up, however, Limblifter was revived as the Dahles’ primary band, releasing Bellaclava in 2000. Although that release wasn’t as commercially successful as Limblifter, the singles “Ariel Vs. Lotus” and “Wake Up To The Sun” were popular on radio.

Kurt Dahle left the band in 2001 to concentrate on The New Pornographers. Ryan Dahle carried on with new members Meegee Bradfield, Dave Patterson, touring drummer Burento Follett, and studio drummer Pat Steward, releasing I/O in 2004.

    These guys are such sweet, good men. I used to work in a deli and they used to come in for their afternoon snackies. Sweethearts, for sure. Vancouver kicks ass

    The world needs more Limblifter, for the love of Christ do we ever! does anyone know what's up with a new album? I've heard a few myspace demos in the past that sounded great, but outside of that...nothing.

    I heard them once on a Tallahassee station in March 1996. Amazing what one spin can do.
