Limblifter materialized "inside an abandoned meat locker, amidst the hooker and drug infested Yaletown district of Vancouver" in 1996 while brothers Ryan and Kurt Dahle took some time away from their full-time gig, Age of Electric. 
Linking up with bassist Ian Somers, the band practiced just ten times before they laid down Limblifter in a four-day studio stint. 

2016 marks the the 20th anniversary of Limblifter's self-titled debut album that spawned three high charting singles with Tinfoil, Vicious and Cellophane, as well as garnering three Juno nominations.
