Since then, LBC has released a variety of albums including: Throwing the Game, LBC Geeks, Commitment, The Red Tape Outtakes (Demos and Heartbreaks), How to Get Out Alive, Live and Acoustic and Closing Arguments. LBC is excited to finally return to the Naperville Last Fling.

The band released their sixth studio album, The Greyest of Blue Skies, in 2000 and it brought them to mainstream success. Their 2003 self titled album achieved Gold status in the United States, largely due to their successful single, “One Thing,” which marked the band’s first placing on the US HOT 100 Chart. Finger Eleven also won the Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year in 2008, and their album, Them vs. You vs. Me, was later certified gold in the United States.
