The Lap Steel Duo bridges generational and stylistic divides with beautiful melodies, haunting arrangements, and monster chops reigned into service of the song. Mike Weber brings a love, in equal measure, of progressive, psychedelic, and popular music that is backed by years of playing. As guitarist for Blue Dot, he wowed dozens of enthusiastic fans in local music venues throughout the greater Long Beach area. In Church Group, he discovered the simple joy of the duo. LSD is the culmination of that discovery.
Aaron L. Archambault was born into a musical family. Growing up he soaked up folk music, along with jazz, classical, and a wide variety of popular music. The night he joined Blue Dot he met Mike Weber. It was at that time that they discovered their shared love of Hawaiian music, and specifically the lap steel guitar. During the next months Aaron joined the avant arte ensemble, Squeak Toy, which simultaneously terrified and amazed audiences throughout Long Beach and North Orange County.
Aaron plays a vintage Rickenbacker, and Mike a Fender ‘White.’ After some informal jams, they began developing material, and the Lap Steel Duo was born.
Recordings are in progress, and shows will soon be announced. Stay tuned for further details!

Sounded great at Portfolio! You guys are getting better all the time. Intonation's tough to sync on those things but you nailed it last night!! BIG LOVE TO LSD!!!!
hola The Lap Steel Duo ! qué tal? yo aquí escribiendo todo el día este mismo saludo a todos mis friends. ya hasta las teclas que uso en este mismo estúpido e insípido recadito están como los jeans que usa mi papá para bañar al perro. ojalá tuviera algo más deinspiración. pero te aseguro que si llega la usaré para una rola, no para andar bombardeando myspace con saludos desnutridos. ayós! besitos!
Aaaaaah... the sweet sounds of L.S.D. coming through the ceiling! Hooray for free concerts! :) Seriously -- sounding better and better... can't wait to see/play with you guys live!!! love, Carrie/Good Citizen
btw, new fave song: the one where Aaron is keeping the beat by tapping on the body of the Rickenbacher. Super cool. Although Manos -- still good for some goosebumps!! Love you guys!!
