Our National TV Debut!

YEAH! This past Monday we cut out of our jam space a little early (after blazing through our set to make sure we stay sharp; no lyin’ down on the job for us) to rush over to Matty‘s pad to see Tough Love: Couples, Episode 105, “The Interrogation,” on VH1. Ha HAAAA!! This is the [...]\"\"

TLO and the Centennial Show

200 load-ins.  200 load-outs.  200 van rides.  800 drink tickets.  Some really crappy shows, but more and more excellent ones, especially the further right on the timeline we get.  Last night, we showed ourselves and everyone else what hanging together can do for a band, as we absolutely decimated the stage downstairs at The Middle [...]\"\"

Full Speed into 2010

Happy New Year, TLO fans! Here’s to good times and improvement moving into the second decade of the millennium (ok, technically that doesn’t start for another year, but still). As we looked back and tried to sum up the last year, it really became apparent in hindsight that we’ve been pretty busy guys. We dug our [...]\"\"

TLO, CMJ and the All Night Drive

The CMJ (College Music Journal) Music Marathon in New York City is one of the two biggies in the country, along with South by Southwest in Austin.  So it was really gratifying to learn, upon my return from a morning walk on Dewey Beach in Delaware, that we had been selected to play it!  Just when [...]\"\"

Of Dewey Beach, Broken Arms, the Myth of Starving on the Road and the Big Apple

Delaware is a popular state for companies to incorporate in because of favorable tax laws (or something).  Delaware is south of the Mason-Dixon line.  Its capital city is Dover.  And until last weekend, that’s about all I had if the conversation ever turned to Delaware, which since it never did, I never had to worry [...]\"\"

Birth of a Record

After three years of gestation, this is what we have: a van, a bunch of gear, 80-some-odd shows of one kind or another, a few inside jokes, a little bit of momentum, a one-of-a-kind, state of the art mobile listening/merch module, a web presence, a lot of good press, a whole lot of good friends and [...]\"\"

“Stop! You had me at gazebo.”

That’s right, I said gazebo. As in octagonal, open-air and usually reserved for oompa-pa brass quintets with handlebar mustaches while kids frolic on the lawn on a dusky summer night, their faces sticky with blue popsicle juice. When we heard we were going to be rocking in one, a first for all of us, Jesse‘s [...]\"\"

Slushmob!

It started with a thirst, and grew into an obsession…and ended as a mob! One fine hot August morning in Beantown, an unassuming guitar player for The Lights Out realized two things: 1) he was thirsty, and 2) applying a derivative of the distributive law, he reasoned that if he was parched, so were a [...]\"\"

Getting Green

Finishing up our doubleheader of outdoor performing, we took to Government Center on Friday to perform on the main stage for GreenFest. And like I said on stage, what better way to show your love for Mother Earth than by doing it with The Lights Out? Whatever “it” is. For some, “it” was designing a vehicle [...]\"\"

Patriot Place part 3

It was about the great outdoors this week. Kicking it off on Thursday, we were back for more! With rising-star scenester Robyn Glaser’s vision and pull, Patriot Place outside of Gillette Stadium in Foxboro has become one of the premier venues for a Boston band to play, and certainly one of the only outdoor stages [...]\"\"
