LETLIVE to Perform Special One-Time Only Set at Friends Fest

by | Dec 21, 2015

Most everyone here knows who Letlive is, but did you know the band has been around since the early 2000s? Long before their 2010 breakthrough album Fake History, the group had been performing around the LA area playing songs off their 2003 debut EP, Exhaustion, Salt Water, and Everything in Between and their 2005 effort Speak Like You Talk.

Back then the band curated a festival called Friends Fest — which was basically that, a gathering with all their friends in bands, including The Ghost Inside during their formative years.

Given The Ghost Inside’s tragic bus accident last month, Letlive have decided to bring back Friends Fest one last time, as a benefit for TGI. The two-day event will take place at Chain Reaction in Anaheim on February 12th & 13th, and it’ll see Letlive performing a career spanning set, playing tunes from all their records, even the forgotten ones.

Here’s how the lineup looks. Tickets are available here.

Feb 12:

Final Fight
Xibalba
The Iron Son
Hoist The Colors
Seizures

Feb 13:

Taken
A Dying Dream
