live in 2023

We tried playing together over JamKazam during peak-Covid and it was frustrating. Joe had 40-85ms latency.

Our first 3pc show since 2019 at the Footlight/Windjammer on June 17th was cathartic. Love Letter, Oof and Freak Bag played too. We played some decade-old songs, some that are from the album we’ve been working on for five years, and some brand new ones. Dalton Patton, took photos of all the bands, thank you Dalton!

On Earth Day, Record Grouch and Sleeping Giant Glossolalia did a Record Store Day event with Maasaki and Dr. Evilletown. Dr E actually played live over Zoom archived here. I played a solo set of some new songs and am grateful to Jaguar Psychosis for documenting!

Next show will also be solo, SATURDAY JULY 8th at 1pm free outdoors at 18th Ward Brewing, presented by Love Not Money / The Ghost of Cake Shop!

Pianos Wednesday w/ The Astounds (Capstan Shafts)

We’re playing a show Wednesday, 10pm at Pianos, and we’re psyched to share the bill with The Astounds. That’s the new-ish band from Dean Wells, aka The Capstan Shafts), now based out of St Louis. I just read their wikipedia page and learned they were one of “5 Artists You Should Have Known in 2010” according to Kevin Cole at KEXP/NPR. But Dean Wells has been churning out short, catchy cuts for much longer than that, and has been an inspiration to us Lame Drivers for well over a decade. Back in 2008, some of the Lame Drivers / Get Him Eat Him / 2nightmayorezz members played in Dean Wells’ backing band for Capstan Shafts’ NYC debut at the Knitting Factory. He returned with a band of his own later that year at The Charleston in Brooklyn, and we all set up a couple more shows together at Pi Lam in Philly in 2009, and in 2010 at Public Assembly. A lot has changed in the past decade, but Pianos still exists, and that’s where we’re sharing this bill.

23 October, 2019 @ Pianos
Lame Drivers 10pm
Act William 9pm
The Astounds 8pm
LeeVanCleef 7pm
Rosemont Post 6pm

Also, we have a new song coming to the internet on Tuesday called “Fade” – pre-save it here or get it on bandcamp

We’ve been quiet, but we’re not done playing. We have a show at Coney Island Baby tonight, and a couple new songs out on the webs.
