Lift to Experience
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lift to Experience was a rock band from Denton, Texas. The outfit was formed in 1996, with Josh T. Pearson (vocals & guitar), Andy "The Boy" Young (drums) and Josh "The Bear" Browning (bass).
[edit] Background
It has been reported that while the band was performing at the SXSW festival during the first semester of 2000, they impressed Simon Raymonde and Robin Guthrie so much that the duo signed the band to their record label, Bella Union, that very same day.
The rich and grandiose sound textures of this single guitar band's music is achieved through heavy use of effects pedals coupled with a less usual Leslie speaker.
According to their label the band is no more with no hope to get together again. Frontman Josh T. Pearson is currently pursuing a solo career. Andy Young formed a project with Elbow frontman Guy Garvey called Western Arms, which appears to be in a long hiatus, with one song, Blue on Blue, available on their MySpace page.
