After 15 years running, it comes with sadness that we announce the band letlive. is coming an end. They were an extremely entertaining and high energy band that also managed to be socially conscience and humble in their art. We had the gift of meeting the vocalist Jason Aalon Butler a bit back and I have to say that, despite the crazy antics onstage, he is one of the most humble musicians I’ve ever met. It’s sad to see them go but this time must come for every band and performer.

Camp letlive. had the following to say of the end:


“In the summer of 2002 this thing we call ‘letlive.’ began in a garage in a small suburb of Los Angeles with one goal in mind. Above all else, letlive. was meant to be an idea not an outfit. This idea took its roots in honesty, humility, and finding an ironic strength in vulnerability. This is how it all began and it must end in the same fashion.

“We have been granted opportunities and experiences beyond anything we could have ever imagined and we are well aware that none of the aforementioned would be possible without you. Your support, investments, and genuine belief have been nothing short of inspiring which is what allowed us to create these works while enduring the unsettling ebb and flow of career musicianship. With this in mind we would like to take this time to exhibit said transparency and explain that over time a divergence in views and aims has developed within the camp- and, for the moment, the impact that has on letlive. as a group is that there will be no further activity for the foreseeable future. We want to thank every single person that we were privileged enough to make a connection with through this vessel. We will no longer write the soundtrack, but the most important element, the idea, will continue as long as you allow it to. You are and always will be letlive.”
