Lights Out Asia is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin based post-rock and ambient band that formed in February 2003.

History

Lights Out Asia is an ambient musical project that was formed in February 2003 when Chris Schafer and Mike Ystad, themselves members of Aurore Rien, had considered to work on music together. Over the next few years, they would begin to record in various places. From bedrooms to basements, to living rooms and outdoors, the duo had finally written and mastered enough material for a full length album. The album would soon be come known as, 'Garmonia', Lights Out Asia's first documented recording as a band. 'Garmonia' found itself in the willing arms of Sun Sea Sky Productions, and Lights Out Asia found themselves ready to play live shows.

Asking for the services of fellow friend and musical talent of Mike Rush on the bass guitar, Lights Out Asia began to develop their live performance and accustom themselves to the musical scene. When not busy playing to a live group of avid listeners, the band continues to write and record material for a follow-up release.
