Age of Electric was a Canadian alternative rock band from Lanigan, Saskatchewan, founded in 1989. The members were singer/guitarist Todd Kerns, guitarist Ryan Dahle, bassist John Kerns and drummer Kurt Dahle. Ryan and Kurt also provided backing vocals. AOE were one of the most commercially successful Canadian rock bands of the mid-90s. Their commercial breakthrough came with their independent EP ''Ugly'' in 1993, which spawned several hits and set the stage for the major label release of ''The Age of Electric'' in 1995. In 1996, the Dahle brothers released an album with their side project Limblifter, which was also commercially successful in Canada. The band then regrouped for ''Make a Pest a Pet'' in 1997. The album produced the radio rock hit "Remote Control", which peaked at No. 9 on Canada's Singles Chart and was later featured on MuchMusic's diamond certified compilation album, ''Big Shiny Tunes 2''. Although the album was a hit, tensions within the band led the group to break up after a 1998 tour as the opening band for Our Lady Peace. Upon the break-up of Age of Electric, the brothers Kerns would go on to form Static in Stereo with other members including their brother Ryan. Kurt Dahle went on to work with The New Pornographers. Todd Kerns is now the lead singer and guitarist for the Las Vegas based band, Sin City Sinners.
