Lost In Rotation
The Short Biography
Lost In Rotation, a four piece band from Stafford, Va. self described as “original acoustic/electric rock” a collision of rock, acoustic, alternative, pop, and balladic styling’s that set them apart, and keeps them away from being categorized into a corner. LIR started as a three piece in early ‘04, and later that year released their freshman cd,”from nothing to everything”. Florida Wayne (lead vocals & acoustic guitar) and Pat Branson (drums & percussion) spent all of ‘05 and most of ‘06 losing and/or replacing members of the band, and as a result they came to a stand still. Until ‘06, when they added Mike Schilling (bass) and Mike Kelly (lead guitar & vocals), this was the change that LIR desperately needed to move to the next level. In May of ‘07 they released their sophomore cd, ”the barnyard session vol.1” actually recorded in a barn in Brunswick County, Va. LIR received local acclaim in their local paper The Free-Lance Star, saying this:
The obvious strength of Lost In Rotation is Wayne, who sings with a near-perfect alt-rock quaver while he bounces around the stage with reckless abandon and strums his acoustic guitar with string-breaking ferocity. His more subdued foil is lead electric guitarist Mike Kelly, who barely moves as he rips off subtle solos. Patrick Branson on drums and Mike Schilling on bass form the rhythm section for Lost In Rotation, and they make a solid foundation for Wayne and Kelly to build their "original acoustic/electric rock." Most of the set was original music, many of the tunes from their recent album "The Barnyard Sessions Vol. 1." Even so, I heard strains of "Sweet Home Alabama" as I pulled out of the parking lot, windows rolled down, Mike Kelly's tastefully shredded licks floating on the cool evening air.
On October 7th 2007, they headlined the Miller Sound Stage at the Virginia State Fair, and they have been recently asked to play a live acoustic set on CBS’s Richmond morning show, “Virginia This Morning” on channel 6. LIR is currently working on their next studio cd currently titled, “raising the bar”, and their acoustic cd, “almost unplugged”.
