The "musical" group LaME. was born from the bowels of the magical kingdom called Irving, Texas, and to this day there they still reign.

On a dew scented morning in 1998, this collosal misinterpretation of art was spawned from the soft and simple minds of John Weiss, who (with his amazing sense of melody, but his total lack of rhythm) played the bass, Cameron Taylor, who played guitar and later sang (if one must call it that), and Paladio Garza, who drank, did drugs and was difficult to communicate with, but had a guitar. Aside from the founding three who still remain, there have been many others who have passed through the halls of LaME. "Hey, there are bitches who can hang, and bitches who can't. Some can stand the LaME.osity, and others fall by the wayside," comments John Weiss while rubbing his well chiseled jaw.

Then in the year 2000, a miracle in the form of a bald, sideburned angel fell from the sky and into the role of the manly keyboardist. This angels' name was Casey Bohn, or known now in some cirlces as Herr Doktor DJ Bohn...and in even smaller, more questionable circles...as the Bohndage. While Mr. Bohn was in fact a like-minded individual to the founding three, he did not secure his place until he made his very large, very expensive electronic purchase which could mask not only his testicle size but also his lacking ability. In the back of the band was a fellow named Ben Workman. He was the third in the lineage of LaME.beaters, also known as drummers. He hailed and continues to hail as the beater who held that title the longest.

Then, in 2001, LaME. was forced to look at itself. It decided that something was missing from its sound. It needed more...BIG! To enhance the BIG!, LaME., against their better judgement, asked the only person they knew to fill the missing slot. His name was Taylor Walding. After many personality conflicts between him and the rest they decided that he "just didn't know any better." And so he still remains. This was the first step toward the BIG!

On a fateful night in 2004, disaster struck. LaME.s longtime beater Ben Workman left the band. At a loss, and in true LaME.fashion, they accepted the first person to show up to fill the beater position. That person just happened to be Sam Waughtel. Although plagued with a liking for emo music, he had a nice drum set, which is what ultimately sealed the deal. "We'll see if this bitch can hang. He got through the first six months, everything else should be a piece of piss," Cameron Taylor says while pumping iron. He snorts, "Gotta stay in shape, milk can't do everything," and snorts again.

Over the last few years, LaME. has played countless numbers of electrifying live shows. As the gatherers leave these mystical performances, bewildered comments like "I expected more from the six piece band" and "Wow, LaME. IS lame" can be heard. One thing is for sure though: LaME. is BIG!, LaME. is BAD!, and LaME. is ASS! And they are coming to a town near you...beware!
