History

Lanemeyer was formed in 1997, and became known for "shaping some of the more popular strains of punk". [2] [3] Taking their name from John Cusack's character Lane Meyer in the film Better Off Dead... , [4] Lanemeyer were known for their humor and love of comedy. They broke up in 2001 after touring with bands such as The Lawrence Arms, Bigwig, River City High, Whippersnapper, and many more. After the breakup, several members continued to perform with other bands, such as The Forever Endeavor, The Gaslight Anthem, and Day at the Fair (Rushmore Records). Lanemeyer has reunited several times to play single shows, with varying member lineups.

In 2018, they re-released Stories for the Big Screen on limited green vinyl on I Surrender Records (Rob Hitt from Midtown's record label). [1] [5]
