Lightweight Holiday

about

Lightweight Holiday began when several neighborhood friends got together to start playing music to cut through the boredom. Andy (Guitar, Vocals), Joey (Drums), Justin (Guitar, Vocals) and Matt (Bass) started writing and rehearsing their own material when they were still in their teens. Matt and Andy had the idea to record a couple solid demos and send them to various labels with the intent of getting somewhere, or at least past the Ohio border. With help from their manager, Melissa Garden, who they met in February of 2003, the band sent out a bunch of CDs, trying to solicit some type of label interest. Luckily for them, salvation and confidence came from two of the industry's most respected artists: Steve Kravac and Greg Hetson (Bad Religion). After sending in a handful of demos to Greg and Steve's fledgling label Porterhouse, the band began a long distance relationship that eventually culminated in their first self-titled release. Working with mostly Steve in Porterhouse's Los Angeles studio, the band and their oft-times taskmaster producer created a gem of memorable and timeless songs. Of the experience, bassist Matt Lang says, "There was definitely an age difference. Steve has a reputation and I heard a lot of horror stories about bands that have worked with him, but it was awesome for us. It actually went pretty smooth; we didn't spend days and days working on parts, so it was relaxed and straightforward. We did the majority of preproduction for 2 or 3 days and worked
