As their gold-certified debut NO NAME FACE (DreamWorks) continues to gain momentum–it's bulleted at #43 this week and will jump to #36 next week with sales of 48,000 copies on Billboard's Top 200 album chart–LIFEHOUSELIFEHOUSE singer/songwriter/guitarist JASON WADE. "It's an incredible opportunity to make some new fans across the country." Last year, the band earned attention by playing a series of shows with Pearl Jam prior to the release of NO NAME FACE. will embark on a two-month sold-out arena tour with Matchbox Twenty and Everclear on February 27 in Minneapolis, MN. The trek is highlighted by sell-outs at Madison Square Garden in New York City (March 16) and the Universal Amphitheater shows (March 29-30) in Los Angeles. "What an honor it is for us to open up for Matchbox Twenty and Everclear," said
Presently, LIFEHOUSE—WADE, bassist SERGIO ANDRADE and drummer RICK WOOLSTENHULME–are making a huge impact at Modern Rock radio with their hit single "Hanging By A Moment." The song reached #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and is currently Top 10 on Mainstream Rock. "Hanging By A Moment" has also begun to cross over to Top 40: it's currently bulleted at #47 on Billboard's Hot 100. The video is also getting significant rotation on VH1, MTV and MTV2.
NO NAME FACE–produced by Ron Aniello and mixed by Brendan O'Brien–was released on October 31, 2000 and achieved gold-status in only three months. NO NAME FACE is highlighted by WADE's soaring vocals, ringing guitars and mature songwriting skills.
Though he is only 20 years-old, WADE's life-experience belies his age. He formed LIFEHOUSE with ANDRADE after the two found each other when WADE relocated to Los Angeles with his mother. The move was nothing new for the California-born WADE who previously called Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Portland (OR) and Seattle (WA) home prior to Los Angeles (where LIFEHOUSE is now based). WADE's parents divorced when he was 12. "My parents had a lot of issues. But they wouldn't allow me to see the problems in their relationship," he explains. "Our family was always peaceful; there was never any fighting or anything. We looked perfectly happy from the outside. It was like 'Pleasantville.' The worst part was that I couldn't acknowledge anything was wrong, so I couldn't do anything about it. I felt completely powerless."
It was through long hours of cathartic poetry and songwriting that WADE was able to reconcile his ever-changing surroundings and experiences that form the basis of NO NAME FACE, of which People said, "With a debut disc of dreamy alterna-pop, this L.A. trio is hitting the big time thanks to their shimmering first single, 'Hanging By A Moment…'"
