Spotlight of the Day: Lifehouse

Lifehouse rose to fame as a mainstream band in the United States consisting of three members, Jason Wade, Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. and Bryce Soderberg. Founded by lead singer Jason Wade, the band orginially consisted of Sergio Andrade and Jon Palmer, who later went on to tackle various other activities.

As a young 15-year-old boy, Wade was introduced to producer Ron Aniello, who helped Wade hone his singing and performance skills. In 1999, the band released their debut album under the band name "Blyss" entitled Diff's Lucky Day. Fortunately, record sales took off, selling hundreds off of eBay.

Just a year later, Lifehouse entered the recording studio to work on No Name Face. By the time the album was released, Wade and Andrade were the only two members left. Due to conflicts and limited focus, several members chose to seperate themselves from the band. Woolstenhulme eventually filled in for Palmer on the drums.

Evidently, "Sick Cycle Carousel" was the band's first single released , yet it was their hit "Hanging by a Moment" that stuck in the minds of their fans....and led them to where they are today. Shortly after their claim to fame moment, the band was back in the studio and released another album called Stanley Climbfall. Its success was shortilved with tracks such as "Spin" (still on the radio though!) and "Take Me Away." It was back to the drawing board for these boys. If they didn't come out with another knock-off hit or reinvent themselves, they could end up in the endless pile of one hit wonders.

By late 2004, Lifehouse gained another member, Soderberg, as their new bass guitarist. Their next album, self-titled Lifehouse, was produced by John Alagia (Mandy Moore!) and featured hits such as "You and Me" and "Blind."

Lifehouse recently debuted their fourth album entitled Who We Are. Fans and newcomers alike can listen to their most successful single since "Hanging by a Moment" titled "First Time." Catchy and memorable, the song was just what the band needed to stay in the spotlight. As of this summer (2007), the band is currently on tour with Goo Goo Dolls and plans to go on a world-wide headlining tour....so don't miss out on getting your Lifehouse tickets today!
