the lames
heyooooo.... we're the lames... we're from washington dc... and we're super cool....
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Bio:
so where do we begin? Ahhhhh... how about with a beer and a guitar. Actually that isn't entirely correct. The lames began with several beers and probably two guitars, within the constraints of a dorm room in good old Washington, DC. Let's put things into perspective for you... If you combined the sounds of Kenny G. with the musical inclinations of Foghat, you would not have the lames. What you would have, however, would be a really horrible band. We're not really about anything other than having a good time. The one thing we can truly be deemed is beer-influenced punk rock... yay....
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
sure we play live... when we have time to and are in the same city... it's a good 20-30 minutes of mayhem... we dont like to stop very long between songs.... maybe thats why a typical set is only 18 minutes long...
Your musical influences
i guess obvious ones would be good bands.... foghat... toto... kenny g... herbie hancock... the ramones... the queers... punk rock... screeching weasel... choking victim... big d and the kids table... assorted jelly beans... kelly osbourne (a favorite of all)... avril lavine... fefe dobson... ha ha ha...
What equipment do you use?

Anything else?
you love the lames... the lames love you too...
