Contents. Band history Pre-history Prior to forming the Lawrence Arms, the three band members were active in other -area bands.

Had played in the band. Had played in Tricky Dick before joining Kelly in. McCaughan and Kelly also shared an apartment together on Chicago's north side., meanwhile, had played in a band called.

Both Slapstick and The Broadways released albums on, a small record label based in that would later release albums by The Lawrence Arms. Formation and Asian Man years The three musicians came together to form the Lawrence Arms in 1999, taking their name from the apartment complex in which Kelly and McCaughan had lived before being evicted in the middle of the night.

Although punk rock bands in their infancy generally start out by releasing and 7' singles, the band members used their existing relationship with Asian Man Records to immediately begin recording a full-length album, which was released later that year. A second album, followed in 2000. Both albums focused heavily on the members' own stories of growing up and living in Chicago.

The band's next two releases were split with other bands. The first, a, was released in 2000 and was their first release to be recorded by, who would continue to record and produce all of their subsequent releases. A second EP, was released in 2001 and was a split with.

Signing to Fat Wreck Chords The band's split with had brought them to the attention of of, who signed them to his label in late 2001. Their first release on the label was a, part of the label's 'Fat Club' series of 7' records. This was followed by the full-length album, released in 2002. The album spawned the band's second, for the song 'Porno and Snuff Films,' and they toured extensively with NOFX and other bands from the Fat label. Their next album was 2003's. Their most ambitious album to date, it demonstrated the band members' continued growth as musicians and songwriters and included extensive footnotes to the lyrics detailing their many references to history, literature, and pop culture. It also showed an evolution in the band's vocal style.

Kelly had sung most of the vocals on their first album, while on subsequent releases he and McCaughan had split vocal duties almost equally from one song to the next, with Kelly's voice tending to sound more harsh and urgent while McCaughan's sounds more relaxed and melodic. With this release, however, the two began to move towards more of a duet style of singing which would feature prominently on their next album. Extensive touring following the album's release saw the band on the road for much of 2003 and 2004.

They also contributed a song to the Fat Wreck Chords compilation, leading up to the 2004 presidential election and became involved with the campaign. The Lawrence Arms also played a portion of the 2004, but the band's attitude towards the tour resulted in controversy. In a 2006 interview, Kelly claimed that the band 'did like seven days of it and we got kicked off it, banned for life' for 'pointing out the obvious flaws of the Warped Tour, on stage while the people running the Warped Tour were watching us.' When asked his opinion of the tour, Kelly responded: Warped Tour, it’s destroying the economy of; and it’s doing it very methodically and very successfully in that the summer touring season used to involve a bunch of bands, like for example, jumping on buses and taking smaller bands, like us and for example, on tour. There would be all these bands that would do that, so all these support bands would have great tours to go on.

Kids in every town would have a bunch of different shows to go see, like over the summer. Small clubs would have big, good shows at least once a week if not twice a week, three times a week; and kids would have stuff to do. Now, all those big bands go on the Warped Tour. When they come to town, it’s for one day. It’s in a band shell, small clubs all across the US are closing down, they can’t afford to be open. Bands like us have to tour against the Warped Tour, which sucks; or tour on the Warped Tour, which sucks even more.

He further likened the experience of Warped Tour to 'going to a band shell and buying twelve dollar bottles of water and standing there watching your favorite band play from like a million feet away.' He also criticized the tour's effect on punk rock and independent music as a whole: 'Now people talk about the Warped Tour like it's the greatest thing to ever happen to punk rock, it's not the greatest thing to ever happen to punk rock - it's single handedly dismantling the whole thing we've been fucking building for all this time and nobody gives a fuck.And that's why it's the worst thing to ever happen to punk rock, or DIY music in general.' Their next album, 2006's, included a entitled 'Warped Summer Extravaganza (Major Excellent)' referencing their attitude towards the tour. The Falcon, Sundowner, and Oh!

In December 2004 Kelly and Hennessy joined with fellow Chicago natives of the (who had played with Kelly in ) and, formerly of, to form another band called, and released an EP on. Meanwhile, with interest in the Lawrence Arms increasing and their EPs out of print, Asian Man Records planned a release of the band's EP tracks. The resulting compilation album, was released on Asian Man in June 2005 and included their songs from both EPs along with nearly all of their compilation tracks, rare songs and.

The Lawrence Arms re-entered the studio in October and November 2005 and recorded the album, which was released on Fat Wreck Chords in March 2006. It had an overall faster and more urgent feel to it than their previous album, and demonstrated another step in the development of their singing as Kelly and McCaughan shared vocals in a duet style on nearly every song. They filmed a music video for the song 'The Devil's Takin' Names' and toured throughout 2006 with a number of bands including NOFX, Alkaline Trio, and. A full-length album by The Falcon was released that Fall, and in December The Lawrence Arms embarked on their first headlining tour of, also playing supporting shows with. In March 2007 McCaughan released the debut album from his acoustic side-project. The Lawrence Arms toured again in the fall of 2007, with their side projects The Falcon and Sundowner as openers along with the recently reunited. McCaughan also toured as Sundowner in the mainly acoustic/folk Revival Tour featuring Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Ben Nichols of Lucero, and Tim Barry.

Hennessy also joined fellow Chicagoans and toured with them. Recent activity In June 2009, The Lawrence Arms recorded a studio EP.
