Artist description The latest rendition of Lame is a poppy-rock sound borrowing heavily from early 50s rock and roll, quirky 60s pop/rock, and an overall feeling of "Hey, its like I've known this song my whole life!" Lame wants to be fun: no cryptic messages, no esoteric references, just pure rock and roll that makes you want to get up and dance like an idiot. So lighten up a little... its okay to be Lame.

Music Style Pop-Rock

Musical Influences The Beatles, Weezer, Ska, Led Zeppelin

Artist History Lame started in early 2000 with Andy Berthusen on bass, Troy Franklin and Eric Burchett on guitars,and Matt Lancetot on drums. A live act was intended, but when Matt left the remaining three decided to record some of their silly songs. A couple of songs exploded into a 14 song collection called the Shady Glen Sessions. The remaining members traded off on intruments, and with the miracle of over-dubbing, created an album. Troy left in August to pursue school in LA. Andy and Eric decided to take the Shady Glen songs and put together a live band. They went to guitars, and recruited Nate Sieveking on bass and Becky Shaw on drums. This is the Lamewe know and love today.
