Roger Andreassen - recording a live album

Life... But How to Live It? was a Norwegian band, formed in Oslo in 1988. They played their first show at UFFA, Trondheim October 22, 1988, and their final show at Kampen Verksted, Oslo, April 2, 1994.

History

The band was formed in summer 1988. The members all frequented Blitz, a squatted building in the middle of Oslo, where many other notable Norwegian hardcore bands such as So Much Hate and Stengte Dører had their base in the late eighties. LBHTLI toured extensively, nearly 300 concerts in fifteen countries in the five years they kept together and released a live album on Your Choice Records, produced by Tobby Holzinger. They split up in 1994.

They have reformed to play three concerts since the breakup: once in 2002 celebrating Blitz's 20th anniversary, and twice in 2008.

After breakup

Andreassen and Andreassen later went on to play with Captain Not Responsible, Drunk and Danger!Man.^[1] Dyret also played Captain Not Responsible as well as Mitti Skritti and 2:20.^[2] In 2010, Osvold was a founding member of Castro. In 2015, she appeared on episode 3 of Norwegian documentary series Punx.^[3]

Influence

Their song "Green" was played on G7 Welcoming Committee's fourth podcast.
