Life in a Blender was born in Jersey City in the late 80s, tossed from a speeding train, and then somehow managed to record ten albums ranging from screaming punk to orchestrated chamber pop. They have brought the high theatrics of their live act to stages from Berlin to Austin to Toronto to Brooklyn and Seattle with a stop in Poughkeepsie. Their live cover of “Purple Rain” at The Ritz, featuring James Mastro, had the band banned for life. Their latest album, “Bent by the Weather,” is gaining raving mad reviews: “Bent by the Weather takes LIAB’s well-honed, intellectually-minded sophisto-pop to new heights.”—The Big Takeover. “Bent by the Weather delivers tuneful, oddball indie rock from the mind of true American original.” —The Jersey Journal. “Smart, avant-garde, and catchy, “Bent by the Weather” is anchored by drummer Ken Meyer from Hoboken.” —Jim Nolan.
