Lanemeyer was an American pop punk band from northern New Jersey which activated between 1997 and 2001.
History
Lanemeyer was formed in 1997. Taking their name from John Cusack's character Lane Meyer in the film Better Off Dead..., Lanemeyer were known for their humor and love of comedy. They broke up in 2001 after touring with bands such as The Lawrence Arms, Bigwig, River City High, Whippersnapper, and many more. After the breakup, several members continued to perform with other bands, such as The Forever Endeavor, The Gaslight Anthem, and Day at the Fair (Rushmore Records). Lanemeyer has reunited several times to play single shows, with varying member lineups.
In 2018, they re-released Stories for the Big Screen on limited green vinyl on I Surrender Records (Rob Hitt from Midtown's record label).
