Created in May of 2007, Lights Out Dancing is a hard working Powerpop/Rock group out of the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lights Out Dancing formed when the four ex-members of touring band Charmin teamed up with vocalist Danny Luebke. “He just fits right in” says guitarist Scott Baker, “both his musical talent and his personality were just what we were looking for.” Upon the arrival of Luebke the band knew they were ready to make their music their life.
In August 2007, after teaming up with producer Jordan Schmidt (All Time Low, Automatic Loveletter, Daphne Loves Derby), the band independently released their EP Oh, the Places You’ll Go. The release was a great success selling over 500 copies in the first two months. The record represents a compilation of ideas that the band holds close to its heart such as optimism, hope, love and inspiration. Drummer Ryan Arndt comments, “We all put our hearts and souls into these songs and it’s great to see the response that we are getting from everyone.”
With a record that anyone can fall in love with, and noted for a highly energetic and entertaining stage presence, Lights Out Dancing is an especially light hearted band who’s always looking for a good time, but is not afraid to take their work seriously. Guitarist Mike Haase sums it up best with, “We are five best friends who love what we do and always work our hardest. Like we always say: ‘We take having fun way too seriously.’”
