Thanks to everybody who came to our shows last week! Fun times and lessons learned.
Here’s a new demo of a song
> demOzOne <
who knows if anything’ll ever come of it cuz we’ve got a bunch of in-progress recordings right now…which all sound very different… but some day we will do a set of songs in this mode.
it’s probably inspired by Stan Seitrich (Wonderful_Subdivision, Satan’s Pool Party)
and Wooden Shjips (Lucy’s Ride)

ternet. Check it out!
also recorded a new demo for a shoegazey EP. Something in the vein of “excess”

CURRENT LINEUP (no photo exists) – Jason Sigal (guitar), Joe Posner (bass), Jeff Wood (drums)
* Originated in New Jersey, formed in Providence, RI 2004, born again in New York.
* Released music on 75 Or Less, Not Not Fun, State Capital Recordings, Eggy Records, LCMR
* In our youth, we were courted by a larger record label who thought we sounded like Bruce Springsteen. Young Lame Drivers were also compared to a “dirty mix of Replacements/Stooges-influenced popâ€, “like a young Replacements or Guided By Voicesâ€, “like the Buzzcocks getting a reacharound from the Descendents,†“rock hard in Jesus & Mary Chain fashionâ€.
* In summer 2009, Lame Drivers morphed into a 3-piece and is now leaner, darker, and more psychedelic. “You do more…with less†says Gerard.
* Lame Drivers have played shows in 10 states with the likes of Flipper, Kurt Vile, Oxford Collapse, The Gossip, Vic Thrill, We Are Wolves, German Measles, Cause Co-Motion, Home Blitz, So Cow, Total Abuse, Dinowalrus, Clockcleaner, and Buttnaked Butthole
* Past & present Lame Drivers have also played in Home Blitz, Capstan Shafts, Get Him Eat Him, The Great Excape, Gutsies, The Rape Escape, Kleenex Girl Wonder, and other projects.
