This is about The Living Daylites, a band that existed in Minneapolis, MN between 2004 – 2006. What follows are a couple of live recordings which the band has graciously allowed me to share on Live Music Archive with other past, present and future fans.

Mariah (VanDeWiele) Ince : Lead vocals
Jason Lupetuu : possibly on drums or guitar
[ – who else was in the band at the time? ]

The Summer People

The Living Daylites

I’m not sure if The Living Daylites just played a really short set or if I missed something beforehand, but they rocked the house pretty hard for this brief segment I was able to capture here. I’m pretty sure this was the first time I saw the band, and the next time I would see them would be on another shared bill with The Summer People, almost a year later in Mpls.

This night marked the first time I sat in with The Summer People, kicking off a two year run sitting in with the band, and ending up on their third album. It was also the second time I ever saw them, having shared a bill with them nearly a year earlier at The Turf Club, while playing in The Pushrods – whose practice space, ironically enough, was right upstairs from this venue, when it was still Ryan’s. This seems to have been the third incarnation of the Lowertown metal haven, previously The Lab, and Ryan’s before that, eventually closing in 2013, and condemned two years later. That’s life in the fast lane for ya!

Mariah gives a shout-out to the other bands on the bill, but I couldn’t quite make out the names. It sounds like she mentions The Unstuck, as well as another name that sounds like Marissa.
