(BIO)
“We should start a BAAAND!”
With those prophetic words, slurred after a late-night Boston bar crawl in 2005, THE LIGHTS OUT was born. Nobody remembers who said it. They’d never even played a note together. (Sometimes you just know it.)
With influences as clashing as Queens of the Stone Age, Kiss, Bloc Party and Foreigner, the quartet chisels out an entirely new brand of breakneck, anthemic pop-rock, with a barrel of catchy choruses and melodies stickier than the High Life coating their sneakers by the end of every practice.
Taking a spoonful from the time-honored rock food groups of women, betrayal and bad habits, THE LIGHTS OUT expands the menu with songs offering glimpses into the lives of bounty hunters, and stubborn courage in the face of erupting volcanoes.
Despite the great pride the band takes in being impulsive, THE LIGHTS OUT maintain an intense work ethic, recording and critiquing every gig like a boozed-up college football team. Their goal is to ensure everyone has a damn good time by making every performance better than the last. With their growing reputation for dynamic live shows and the nods they’ve been receiving from fans and press, they’re clearly onto something.
THE LIGHTS OUT chased its updated classic rock release, “The Douglas Sessions ‘05” with a self-titled EP in 2007, and upped the ante with its “¡Heist!” EP in 2008.

Nope, actually I am kidding myself, Liquid will always come first! I even managed to misquote it in a previous (drunken) comment! But honestly, best lyrics you've written (besides the Hang Me Out To Dry, Swim Towards the Lights Out song that I shamefully don't know the name of, you'd think I would by now!) and in general it is just awemazing that you guys all wrote that song and it makes me so happy!! I think you were BSing me when you told me you never played Liquid live before then ;) Not really, but you have to admit its hard to believe!
the "clappy" part of Liquid sounds great on headphones, with the stereo effect! I have to draw the line at 3 comments in a row. But, still... Be sad for rain, be sad for rain, be sad for rain.
When you're liquid she said, we could be sad for rain!
Wins most epic song ever, if only I was the only judge for that award.
But as I said, 3 comment's the limit, and as euphoric as I am, I will hold to that standard. I fucking love Liquid whenever you play it, but now I've started to lean toward Money or Time. Basically, I'm infatuated with Heist!
what a night. Matt, Rish, Jesse, Adam... there are no words! If Echo hadn't dragged me to see you guys that first time... I would be on a different, less awesome plane of life. I would say keep it up, but... of course you will!
Liquid gets better every time! At this rate, I will get a permanent smile frozen on my face every time I hear it!!! And that is a Good Thing™
I posted this on my facebook wall, but somehow thought I was pasting it on your myspace. How does that happen? I am not sure. But, on that note... slee
