What would Nirvana have sounded like fronted by Bjork? What would Judas Priest's new album have sounded like if Rob Halford had read "Tuesdays With Morrie" just before going into the studio? How about Ringo Starr produced by Steve Albini?

The Layaways don't sound like any of this. Words that have been tossed around to describe us include understated, dreamy, and blissful--none of which describe the aforementioned hypothetical scenarios (except maybe the Halford thing). We've also been compared to the Jesus and Mary Chain, Guided By Voices, George Harrison, Rain Parade, and the Radio Dept.

We're based in Chicago and are currently working on our third disc, slated for a fall 2007 release. Please check out the above tunes (all comments are welcome!) and visit www.thelayaways.com for more free downloads.

The best show ever was in the long,hot summer of 1996 at Rons Crossroads.Mike Porter was still wearing that house arrest ankle bracelet and had been drinking the nights pay since noon.When he went off the set list and began reciting Richard Harris poems the bottles started flying.33 stitches later he finished the show in the Akron General Emergency Room.He never found that recipe again.

What needs to happen is Mike Porter needs to do more peanut butter chest smears like Iggy around 1971.You dont see that enough.Or maybe show a little more leg for the lllaaadddiiieesss.You know what I'm sayin.Change your name to Mike O and do lots of stage running and costume changes, for fucks sake.Something.
