From Age of Electric To Static in Stereo
Before Static in Stereo was Age of Electric, which was hailed as one of Canada’s leading alternative rock bands of the 1990s. The group consisted of Todd and John Kerns and brothers Ryan and Kurt Dahle. The group met while growing up in small town Saskatchewan and formed Age of Electric in 1989. The group received some success with the release of their EP Ugly in 1993; however, their commercial triumph followed the major label releases of their two last albums The Age of Electric (1995) and Make a Pest a Pet (1997). The band's last album went gold in Canada (sold more than 50,000 albums). Their hard-rock edge attracted audiences as they toured with bands such as Our Lady Peace. By the late 1990s, the Dahle brothers had begun releasing albums with their side project Limblifter and the Kerns brothers had begun writing music that was going in a different direction. In 1999, the band broke up and soon Static in Stereo was formed.

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or electric:
“... that’s what living happens to be ... the physiological denial of reverence and good manners and Christianity.... At your age one’s quite old enough to know what the essence of life really is. Shamelessness, that’s all; pure shamelessness.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
