Just another band out of Boston. Did pretty good. Left and hid for awhile.
Moved to LA to spread peace and love.
Layne is a new name.
Goal: trying to break your heart unknowingly while you bob your head.
Every week maybe I'll tell you more. Like...myspace/Layne was taken and so was myspace/Laynemusic. So, that's why the extra friggin' words Laynemusicusa.
But the band...it's just LAYNE!
The EP "Up From Down" was recorded in Studio City, CA with USA Mike producing. The band on the EP were all at some point part of the lovely and amazing Boston music scene and now we all live in LALALAND; trying to keep it real. Same for the live band; a bunch of transplants trying to stay tan.
ON the CD: Laurie Geltman (songwriter/vocals/guitars), Michael Eisenstein (guitars/bass/b. vocals/producer), Fred Eltringham (drums/percussion), Peter Adams (all sorts of keys and cool sounds), Stevie Blacke (violin, cello, viola) and Kay Hanley and Michelle Lewis (aka The Dilettantes) on backing vocals. Fred was touring non-stop with the Dixie Chicks and now is out with the Wreckers. His regular band is The Wallflowers. [Note: Fred moved to Nashville] Peter is a much in demand session & touring musician (recently toured with Michael Penn), but also writes and sings his own songs. He's played with so many great artists and bands...go check out his site. Aside from being an amazing guitarist and hot up-and-coming producer, USA also gigs with Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo), Lisa Loeb and Nina Gordon (Veruca Salt) among others. Aaron Tap (guitars) and Jamie Vavra (drums) round out the live band with USA Mike on bass and Laurie on guitar. As a band leader under her own name, Laurie performed with Aimee Mann, Patty Griffin, Morphine, Joe Cocker, Susan Tedeschi, Lilith Fair '98 (Sarah M., Luscous Jackson, Emmy Lou, Natalie Merchant), Jonatha Brooke, Eric Burdon, Rick Danko, Old 97's, Leon Russell, etc. But let's clean the slate.

"'Up From Down' is vintage Geltman, filled with raucous guitars and remarks both wise and wiseass."
