Age of Electric
Age of Electric was a
Canadian alternative rock band in the
1990s.
The band, consisting of two pairs of brothers, formed in
Lanigan, Saskatchewan in
1989. The members were guitarists
Ryan Dahle and
Todd Kerns, bassist
John Kerns and drummer
Kurt Dahle. Ryan, Todd and Kurt all contributed vocals as well.
AOE were one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands of the mid-90s. Their commercial breakthrough came with their independent EP
Ugly in
1994, which spawned several hits and set the stage for the major label release of
The Age of Electric in
1995.
In
1996, the Dahle brothers released an album with the side project
Limblifter, which was also commercially successful in Canada.
AOE then regrouped for
Make a Pest a Pet in
1997. Although the album was a hit, tensions within the band led the group to break up after a
1999 tour as the opening band for
Our Lady Peace.
