"Bugs In Amber" is done. Its our CD. You'd like it

About Me

The Laymen are - obviously- a Vegas band. The band starts and ends on the premise that friends can come together and do something that matters, even if it is only for them. Similar musical interests brought them together, and a desire to expand the ideas of those that came before propels them forward. Also, they love rock 'n' roll, but shouldn't everyone? Shouldn't someone else be writing this? Shouldn't we have more friends by now? The Laymen do not take themselves seriously, but they are serious about the music. At the end of the day, they want you to know that they're good at what they do, even if you don't like it. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Yr here already, so yr probably sick of hearing it...

So the CD is done. Recorded at the old house, mixed and mastered and everything by us. I'd like to say that we are just that DIY, but we really just didn't have any money. A "Dynamo" of a friend ...
