My band The Carryouts played a show with Lifter at Kavanaughs in Van Nuys CA in the 90’s. I was so glad we played first because they were phenomenal. Absolutely incendiary. Great band. Just a different sonic level from anything out these days
And why I hate record labels. Hope you found their second album. It’s on TH-cam. I played a lot of rage away on guitar learning their songs. I did connect online with Mike once. His SparkleJet from this video was stolen.
Caught them live a couple times in the mid 90's. Great live shows. Melinda was one of my favorite albums of my 20's. Bummer you can't buy it on itunes or any other site.
Hey since you have tales lemme ask you...do you remember a video where a guy was pulling his guitar strings out in an exaggerated manner like they were taffy but it went along with the music? I think it was kinda shoegaze with maybe a female singer with kool aid red hair. I thought it was Lush but didn’t find it. I’ve looked through ‘94 and ‘95 and I’m 1/4 thru ‘96 now with nothing.
@@21goober21 alright, man I’m here to help take on your case. My first instinct was Lush but that’s been ruled out. You mentioned shoegaze and that leads me to think My Bloody Valentine, but most of their videos are from 1991-92 and there’s only one where Bilinda sort of has pink hair due to editing (check out “To Here Knows When” to rule it out and “Only Shallow” because it’s their most popular video)… It’s not shoegaze but the pink hair made me think of a Tripping Daisy video. Is there a woman in the band for sure? Edit: I’ll keep checking back in periodically and consult other experts if need be. Enjoy your week, my dude!
@@21goober21 holy shit. Of all the bands in the world you were looking for THAT one? I know the video, the B&B clip and I was hooked from the “Pat’s Trick” video. Timony is a guitar god, you know. I was literally listening to that EP last night. Damn life is a strange trip. Please check out more of their stuff, and if you dig lmk. Always rare to find a fan in the wild. A couple years back she toured playing the old Helium catalog and I missed out on experiencing it myself!
Those middle of the roaders all had, at least, one killer song. I would do a modern day K-TEL best of the 90’s Alt Rock! With hits from Chavez, Grant Lee Buffalo, Failure, Guided by Voices, Juliana Hatfield, Local H, Catherine, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Throwing Muses, Loud Lucy, and more.
One of my favorite bands of all time!!!
This song is excellent. It's unpredictable and refreshing...all over the place. RIP 1996.

Greetings from Van Nuys!
Bands like Lifter are why I miss 90s alternative
And why I hate record labels. Hope you found their second album. It’s on TH-cam. I played a lot of rage away on guitar learning their songs. I did connect online with Mike once. His SparkleJet from this video was stolen.
Love this album. It still stays in my regular rotation.

His voice is interesting, powerful and clear in high register and his lower stands out
Lifter wasn't the best band of the 90s, but so much better than anything nowadays it's not even funny.
Check out ty segall for a good modern band
Sucks when you can't find the good music of today.
The song is going to be featured in the new animated feature film Wonder Park
I was wrong
@@cjmiller3302 rofl
Damn.

I forgot what this band was called. I had to go through my 120 minutes tapes to find out.

@@SneedyKetler Hey, I found it. It was XXX from Helium. I didn’t see it on 120 Minutes. I saw it on Beavis and Butthead! 😂

Great record

Got The Album
Uploaded the song and added to a Spotify playlist
Anyone know if this is on Spotify? Couldn’t find it.
nice
@GerardxoxoFrank you don't, its out of print, but I have the CD.
The 90’s were full of middle of the road also-ran bands like this. Pretty bland stuff.
Those middle of the roaders all had, at least, one killer song. I would do a modern day K-TEL best of the 90’s Alt Rock! With hits from Chavez, Grant Lee Buffalo, Failure, Guided by Voices, Juliana Hatfield, Local H, Catherine, Ned’s Atomic Dustbin, Throwing Muses, Loud Lucy, and more.
Elevator music
you can't buy this anymore, It's out of print.
@momodavy Where do you buy it then?
