Lithium Joe were originally together between 1991-2001 playing well over 300 gigs and recording seven demo tapes, four EPs, an album and a mini-album before they left the stage.
It was a well-worn story. One you’ll have heard a thousand times. Band gets together, band tries hard, band gets nowhere, band drifts apart. Just played out over a decade of giving every last shred of everything we had.
Personally I was so broken by it I didn’t touch a guitar in 18 months and I thought that was it. It took four years before I could take to a stage again, because that ten years had smashed everything I was to pieces and left me shattered on the floor.
Yep. A familiar story.
Yet, like all good stories, it may well yet have a happy ending.
In January 2019 Lithium Joe got back together and played two very special gigs for We Shall Overcome.
