Live on Arrival is a Canadian based modern rock/alternative group from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Robb Nash, the lead singer, has appeared on numerous broadcast networks and television shows across Canada and the United States. Since mid 2008 LOA turned down the renewal of their Canadian record deal in addition to US and Japanese contracts. Shortly after Robb put LOA on hiatus and took up an opportunity touring schools speaking to students about inspiration and making today count.

[edit] Origin of name
A few years before the formation of Live On Arrival, Robb Nash (now the lead singer) sustained major head injuries when his friend lost control of his vehicle. He was struck head on by a semi-truck; ripping off chunks of scalp and shattering his skull. Discovered by his friends with no pulse, he was pronounced dead once paramedics arrived. While prepared to be taken to the morgue, his vital signs suddenly returned, baffling his doctors. Despite this, the accident still left him in a coma for several months along with severe cranial injuries and a long rehabilitation process. When deciding on a name for the band Robb decided to call the band Live On Arrival because of his experience of being killed in a car crash and suddenly coming back to life on a hospital bed.
[edit] Discography
They have released four singles to radio, "Ready Set No","Hello Goodbye", "Wanna Be" and "Limelight". All of which have reached top 10 on the Canadian content charts and top 30 on Canadian International charts. Robb is currently touring the country as part of the 150 date Robb Nash Impact Tour speaking and performing to junior and high school students. Robb and his band have spoken to over 700,000 students in the last two and a half years.
