To promote the album, a theme record about what it is like to be in a band, the band held a mock auction for their tour van named 'Tim'. The band self-released their second LP, Primetime, on January 1, 2011. The EP’s cover caused a stir, and for Halloween the band dressed and performed as Madonna. That fall, the band released their third EP, Rock Pony. The music video for the song, produced by Boston Music Awards Video of The Year director Mike Gill, was released in October. In 2010 the band's song 'Gottagetouttahere', from Color Machine, was featured in an Absolut Vodka ad and was featured in Vh1’s Tough Love Couples. In May they played Gillette Stadium to open the New England Patriots' 2009 season. That year the band also became a semifinalist in the WBCN Rock & Roll Rumble and headlined a showcase at CMJ Music Marathon. īy September 2009, the band had taken the songs from their two previous EPs and put them together with a new batch of compositions to create their first LP, Color Machine. In June 2008, the band released their follow-up five-song EP, ¡Heist!. Late 2007 saw the band 'blitzing' Boston with a string of shows in support of the record. In October of that same year the band released their self-titled EP, The Lights Out (EP). Both James and Ritchie were attending Syracuse University at that time, but never met before joining the band. Adam Ritchie joined on guitar in June 2007. In October 2006, Jesse James joined on drums. Green had recently written and recorded eleven tracks that were later named Douglas Sessions '05 with the purpose of attracting the right band members.

The band started when Rishava Green and Matt King met in the Model Café in Allston, Massachusetts, where they decided to form a band before ever playing a note together. A band not signed to a major record label, they have nevertheless been able to sustain themselves, self-releasing a string of EPs and full-length albums since 2007. The Lights Out is a rock band that formed in 2005 in Boston, Massachusetts.
