Notes

LBH was a space rock staple at the Argo.  Every set consisted of one very long continuous semi-improvised effects-laden, hypnotic jam, usually punctuated visually with an ultra-psychedelic disco ball that seemed to keep pace with the ebb of their song.  “Moon Glory and the 7th Sun” was recorded live at 70 hurtz studio by Dave Willingham. 

Stereo On Strike magazine, writing about their 2008 performance at Melodica Festival sum it up nicely. “All I can say about this band is that I have never seen anything like this since I last saw them and I don't really expect to ever see anything like them again. I equate the experience to actually meeting real Space Aliens and told the secrets of the universe. Similar to the experience I had the first time I saw The Holy Mountain. Light Bright Highway cannot be explained in words. There sound is so cosmic that it cannot even properly be captured onto tape by any technology that exists on this planet. The recordings are good, but just not the same. For those that remember them this is a major highlight of the festival. Before there was Mogwai, Bardo Pond, Mono or even Godspeed You Black Emperor there was Light Bright Highway. everyone else is still trying to catch up.”
