Limblifter
Limblifter is a
Canadian alternative rock group.
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 "Screweditup", but the band subsequently went on hiatus when Age of Electric regrouped for their
1997 album
Make a Pest a Pet.
When AOE subsequently broke up, however, Limblifter was revived as the Dahles' primary band, releasing
Bellaclava in
2000. Although that release wasn't as successful commercially as
Limblifter, the singles "Ariel vs. Lotus" and "Wake Up to the Sun" were popular on radio.
Kurt Dahle subsequently 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.
