new band, Brundlefly, releasing two critically acclaimed albums, Locked in This House (1999) and By the Way (2002). In 1997, Age of Electric released Make a Pest a Pet, which would be the band's best-selling record. Spawning their biggest single "Remote Control", also written by Ryan Dahle, garnered heavy airplay at radio and reached #5 on the Muchmusic Countdown. In March 1998, shortly after calling it quits, Age of Electric was (somewhat inappropriately) nominated for Best New Group at the Juno Awards. The Juno went to the band Leahy. Make a Pest a Pet was certified Gold in Canada, just after they disbanded. Limblifter The Dahles once again focused on Limblifter, and released their second album Bellaclava in 2000. Although the album didn't have the commercial success of the band's first album, it did spawn two popular radio singles, "Ariel vs. Lotus" and "Wake Up To The Sun". However, the band didn't have a chance to follow up on their success, as Kurt left the band to concentrate on the celebrated independent band The New Pornographers. Faced with financial shortages, Ryan Dahle lay dormant for a while before recruiting former Matthew Good Band drummer Ian Browne and a few other musicians for a short-lived, but highly anticipated band named Alarm Bell. The group never released any albums or singles, though they did release several demos that would eventually find their way onto Limblifter's 3rd album (including Get Money, Fiercely Co-Dependent, and Perfect Day to Disappear). Ryan would return to his major project, Limblifter, and recruit a new group of musicians, including Megan Bradfield, Dave Patterson, and studio drummer Pat Steward. The band released its third album, I/O in 2004, and toured across Canada as openers for Matthew Good's solo act, during the Put Out Your Lights tour. Producing work and solo career Dahle produced the album Future Breeds by Canadian band Hot Hot Heat, released in 2010. He also produced the eponymous album The Manvils in 2009, as well as co-producing k-os' 2013 album BLack on BLonde. Dahle completed a solo record, Irrational Anthems, which was released on September 22, 2009 through Fontana North. As of 2013, he is a member of the band Mounties, alongside Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat and singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman.
