Artist History Lentwig performed for the first time in the fall of 1999. It was Rob, Nate, and Brian upstairs at Chelsea's old house. Then Rob joined another band in 2000, and he made them play Lentwig songs. That incarnation of Lentwig could be seen at some Richmond venues. Alley Katz, Cary St Cafe, and the Big Wig Family Reunion all played host to the Lentwig Phenomenon. At that time, we used the normal rock instruments, along with empty water jugs, xylophones, turntables, and hand percussion. But then our drummer quit, so Rob recorded a Lentwig album. It took almost two years, but it was worth it. Why don't you have a listen?

Group Members Rob Hammel is the head of the Lentwig organization. He will work with anyone at any time. On "Lentwig is Dead" he collaborated with two dozen different people. Some had experiance playing instruments. Some did not.
