The Flashing Lights first started as a '60s cover band that played around Halifax when guitarist/vocalist Matt Murphy wasn't busy with his primary band, <a href="spotify:artist:6yRVgSC8WsttXGwqXdvjIp">the Super Friendz</a>. After the Friendz disbanded in 1997, <a href="spotify:artist:3aahGWIXwvG1fxduXjimtl">Murphy</a> moved to Toronto with longtime friend and bassist Henri Sangalang, and the two soon added keyboardist Gaven Dianda and drummer Steve Pitkin to <a href="spotify:artist:5YBMFTpkOuQk2waZNBofbc">the Lights</a>' lineup. The group focused on the '60s sound and influences like <a href="spotify:artist:1SQRv42e4PjEYfPhS0Tk9E">the Kinks</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3aCS3JvkoSr84i7ge9pA9o">Game Theory</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:67ea9eGLXYMsO2eYQRui3w">the Who</a>. The band played locally, building a solid fan base, while recording their first album. Rather than hassling with a label, the band released the full-length Where the Change Is independently. In fall 1999, <a href="spotify:artist:5YBMFTpkOuQk2waZNBofbc">the Lights</a> toured with the Local Rabbits and <a href="spotify:artist:1bfBtcmdmFLIoDp1SnVQsm">Thrush Hermit</a>; Where the Change Is was released in the U.S. in the spring of 2000. ~ Gina Boldman, Rovi
