When the line for Lifehouse wrapped around the Canopy Club to the School of Music building on Nevada entered the venue, they fully packed the main floor and filled every seat in the balcony. Every fan dripping with anticipation for the ensuing performance.

And they got exactly what they were looking for when the band took the stage Thursday night.

The evening was an incredibly pure splash into the world of rock music. There was no frill to the concert; with simple lighting and minimum effects, the result was a refreshing taste of real, good noise.

Lifehouse, the boys who have been sticking songs in heads since 2000, will be taking over the Canopy Club on Thursday with their catchy hooks and romantic ballads. Their successes have landed them on mainstream radio charts and dorm room iTunes playlists everywhere.

Since their debut with No Name Face eight years ago, the members of Lifehouse have continued to bring chart-topping singles, rhythmic choruses and deep lyrics to the stage. Frontman Jason Wade, the only remaining member of the band who was also a founder, confirmed his place in songwriting history after “Hanging by a Moment” was dubbed the Most Played Song of 2001.

The boys of Deconstructing Jim share a striking character resemblance to Clark Kent. By day, the men join the working class with their careers in machinery, public relations and the ever-popular egg delivery. However, by the night, the men live very different lives: rock stars.
