Limblifter is a Canadians alternative rock group from Vancouver, formed in 1995.
When AOE subsequently broke up, Limblifter became the Dahles' primary band. On April 2, 1998, Somers announced he was leaving the band. Todd Fancey joined the band as their new bassist. In 2000, the band released their second album, Bellaclava. Although that release wasn't as successful commercially as Limblifter, the singles "Ariel vs. Lotus" and "Wake Up to the Sun" were popular on radio.
Kurt Dahle and Todd Fancey subsequently left the band in 2001 to concentrate on The New Pornographers. In 2002, Ryan Dahle formed the band "Alarm Bell" with guitarist David Patterson, ex-Matthew Good Band drummer Ian Browne and Matthew Camirand. Camirand later left Alarm Bell and was replaced by Megan Bradfield. In 2004, Dahle, Patterson, Bradfield, and new drummer Brent Follett revived Limblifter. The band released the album I/O in 2004.
Bradfield, Steward and Dahle have all gone on to work with Matthew Good, with Steward becoming Good's new drummer for his subsequent solo career after his band, the Matthew Good Band, became defunct.
After being inactive from 2006 to 2011, Limblifter began playing shows again in 2012. The band's fourth album, Pacific Milk, was released on April 7, 2015. Their fifth album, Little Payne, was released on October 31, 2022.
Jeremy Taggart, formerly of Our Lady Peace, has been drumming for Limblifter since 2024.
