The Limblifter story begins with Ryan Dahle as both its author and protagonist – joined by a who’s who of Canadian musicians as supporting characters. It’s a story full of recordings, performances, awards, nominations and a handful of top 10 radio hits.

Since the 1997 self-titled album that spawned singles like “Tinfoil” and “Screwed It Up,” Limblifter continually reinvents its musical style to resurface in new formations. 2000’s Bellaclava produced rock radio staples like “Ariel vs. Lotus” and “Wake Up to the Sun,” while singles like “Perfect Day to Disappear” and “Jumbo Jet Headache” gained 2004’s I/O a JUNO nomination for engineering. Enter 2015’s Pacific Milk, and 2022’s Little Payne, in which Dahle pushed forward with genre-expanding productions, new bandmates, and long-time collaborators.

“I want a cohesiveness to the whole story of the band,” Dahle says. “Limblifter – that name means something to me. I can’t articulate exactly what it is, but there’s a casualness to it. It’s not super serious; it has to be fun and exciting, so I am always open to great players and concepts.”

The core of the band is sustained through Ryan Dahle and multi-instrumentalist Megan Bradfield, working with the We Are Busy Bodies label to reissue the group’s beloved self-titled album and Bellaclava album on limited edition vinyl.

Moving forward, the band will be touring in support of all Limblifter albums along with career-spanning songs Dahle has written as a songwriter with The Age of Electric, Donny McCaslin, Mounties, and solo works. As the band reinvents again, expect quieter, multi-instrument interpretations of Dahle’s songs.
