Lit will play X103.9’s Merry Meltdown on Dec. 16. (Contributed Image)
Earlier this week I posted about X103.9’s Merry Meltdown happening at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario on Dec. 16. Tickets for the show go on sale Oct. 6 and the show features a lot of really great music.
I wanted to throw the spotlight on two of the bands playing. Up first is Lit, a band from Fullerton that broke nationwide in the late 1990s with the fantastic album “A Place in the Sun,” which had big hits “My Own Worst Enemy,” “Miserable” and “Zip-Lock.” I still rock that album all the time.
I picked up the band’s newest release “View From the Bottom,” after I caught their ridiculously fun set at Summerland earlier this year. It’s a solid record and if you’re a Lit fan, you will definitely dig it.
This one is one of my favorites, “Happy,” off “A Place in the Sun.”
Another band on the bill for the Merry Meltdown is P.O.D. out of San Diego. I interviewed them at Australian Rolling Stone back in 2002 at the height of their massive “Youth of a Nation” and “Alive” wave of popularity there in the Southern Hemisphere. Even though they were already massive in the United States by that time, they were four very down-to-earth guys who really just loved music and their families.
“Boom” has always been a favorite of mine from back in the day.
Which band are you the most excited to see at the Merry Meltdown? Vote below.
