The Lives of Famous Men began rehearsing together in the Fall of 2006. In the Spring of 2007, they recorded an EP entitled Rehearsal in Hillsboro, Oregon, and after playing a few shows in Portland, started their first national tour supporting Youinseries and National Product. At the end of the summer, they returned to their hometown of Anchorage, Alaska to play three shows with Shiny Toy Guns. That fall, during a three-week stop in the middle of another cross-country outing, they recorded their second EP Modern Love, The Wooden Vehicle with producer James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Paramore) in St. Cloud, FL.
In late December, The Lives of Famous Men released the song Sunshine as a digital single. The song - which had already become a popular staple in their live set - was recorded in Seattle, WA with producer Casey Bates (Forgive Durden, Portugal. The Man). According to the band's myspace page, they will be co-heading tours in January with Anarbor and Go Crash Audio.
In September they were featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after winning a contest. They performed the song "You're Everyone I Know Right Now".
They also got a "little blurb in the November issue"[citation needed] of Spin Magazine.
