Bid Lame Drivers farewell on our trip to hell i mean SXSW

gr8 show THURSDAY at CAKE SHOP, 152 Ludlow St NYC w/ Human Resources, Sundelles, Sweet Bulbs, Yvette

We’ll be playin new songs as always plus also bringing back old songs like Demondzblood (mp3) by request from Kelli who books Meat Town New Brunswick (where we play on Saturday).  That song (and a few others) bein played multiple times on WFMU off a CD-R copy of Cruisin Classics 2003-2010. The 27-track compilation was limited to 10 physical CD-R’s, but you can download it as many times as you want over here.

Been listening to Human Resources a bunch lately…you can too! That’s totally “poppoid” sez Byron Coley in Wire Megazing

….and here’s the much more meaty flyer for the March 5th show at Meat Town New Brunswick!

Lame Drivers Have Not Received The Recognition They Deserve From The Internet

“Lame Drivers are an interesting band.  No doubt, they are good.  Their live show is tight, concise, and churns out alt rock that would make Robert Pollard smile…It’s almost as if they came along ten years too late.  I can only imagine that if this were 1995 they’d have a pretty big record deal and be getting interviewed by Matt Pinfield on MTV. I really feel that they have not received the recognition they deserve from the Internet.. ” (New York Rock Market)

ya hear that, Internet? You stoopid fugkin intanet!Joe plays the bass

Anyway, thanks for the kind words New York Rock Market, and most importantely for taking lots of great pics documenting the show we put together at The Delancey last Thursday Jan 13th! We booked it from scratch just like last time, so we once again got to see + hear some of our favorite music acts: Eola (Edwin of Tonstartssbandht), Harpoon Forever, Cool World, plus killa DJ sets by Rock N Roll James (Violet Times) + DJ The-Glide (Friendship Bracelet).

Despite the fun times and free vodka… Let us NEVER FORGET how the show ended: with VIOLENCE when our gracefully moshing friend Jared was thrown out and beaten by a security guard!

nu lamer demos: ease into it + rearrange

"Görlitzer Park" Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike Uli Herrmann

Would you believe these are just some unheard new Lame Drivers demos, flipped n’ reversed via twisted cassette? They’re Creative Commons BY-NC so feel free to remix ‘em to your liking. Though I’d appreciate if you waited until the actual songs are released to pull them up to human speed and fix the Martian Timeslip experiment. This has nothing to do with Justin Beiber 800-x slow.

One of these was source material, while the other was not…can you guess which?

rearrange-demo

WiseUp (ease into it demo)

they both are really rough solo sketches of songs that’ll be way more awesome with the actual Lame Drivers band playin’ em, part of a new batch for the Fall!
