The Lomax

About Me

Andy was in a band with Chris in high school. Later, Chris was in a band with Dave. Chad was also in that band. Andy was in a different band that needed a guitar player. Chad and Chris recommended Brian. Brian used to be Dave's roommate. Brian brought Dave to a rehearsal. They called Chad. Together, they all played and recorded until Chad moved to England. They drafted Chris. And the other Dave. And Jeff. Now they are the Lomax (new and improved with 100% more Daves!). ************************************************************ ** I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net
