Just wanted to share an old photo I came across from the 2019 New York City IPO when I played bass for Sonny Lee and the Layovers. This was my third IPO with the Layovers!
Rock and roll with no apologies...
Keith Lenn is no stranger to the Rockland County, NY live music scene. He is one of the area's most recognizable bassists and guitarists, having played in several locally iconic bands (Detour, Threshold, Red Thunder, The Boulevard). From punk and pop to rock and metal, Keith delivers the goods each and every night with his high energy stage presence and "no apologies" rock and roll attitude. Keith currently plays guitar for the original pop-rock band Faster Than Light, bass guitar for Losing Our Faculties, and bass guitar for No Apologies.
SHE'S OK

QUAD TEASER
NO SIGNAL
We started!
It's been a couple of years and I finally got my head into the right mindset to start recording the follow up to Faster Than Light's "Now We're Speaking French" which was released on March 31, 2017.
Having started my second stint in the Zero band (NY-based), a conversation with guitarist Marco Ferreira (Zero, Goodbye Thrill) convinced me to begin recording the CD in his home studio. Drummer Doug Maresca and I took a few hours to go over drum tracks for the first two songs and literally days later we were in the studio to record the first two tracks.
There is no timetable for the completion of the CD, which is as of now untitled. It should be a much quicker process than the debut CD with some record labels interested in this project and nudging for a quick turnaround. I am actually amazed that we took this first step... my head is really into the creative process right now and the CD will likely contain a bunch of songs that were written in the same time period as much of the first CD was written. There are some new songs as well, and I promise Jessica will make an appearance in the songs!
Here are some pictures from the drum tracking and I will be posting more often since we are all in!
ZERO - September 4, 2020 - Up Lounge - Nyack, NY
Just a quick note - I will be playing bass guitar with Chaotic Records recording artist ZERO at the Up Lounge in Nyack, NY on Friday, September 4th. It will be a blast. This is my second stint with ZERO and rehearsals have been great!
Gentle Giant Brewery - Pearl River, NY Aug 29, 2020
I have very little to say about this gig as you can see in my expression. It's a long story... here are a few pictures...
August 29 - Secret Gig!
I know this sounds strange, but LOSING OUR FACULTIES has a "secret gig" in Pearl River, NY on August 29th at 9:00 pm. If you would like info on this gig, like the LOCATION, send an email to losingourfaculties@gmail.com and you will get all the pertinent info including the concert poster that is usually posted here!
See you Saturday night! ---Keith
In the meantime, here are some goofy pictures from the last rehearsal!
August 5th show and August 12th Live Stream
Hey, everyone! I appreciate everyone who tuned in for the Losing Our Faculties live stream from the Tarrytown Music Hall on Wednesday, August 12th and especially for those who donated to the Music Hall - the band donated our earnings bck to the Music Hall as well. Tarrytown Music Hall is such an essential part of the fabric of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. The Hall's commitment to local theater and music, and their top notch concerts, really help make Tarrytown a special place. I know - I've lived there! So thank you again! We are so sorry that the sound quality was poor throughout... we had no way of knowing and feel horrible.
A week previous, on August 5th, Losing Our Faculties played an outdoor show at Horan's Landing in Sleepy Hollow. It was our first time playing live since who knows when! It was a blast and the crowd was spectacular. It was such a hot day that I actually wore a bathing suit and had every intention of jumping into the Hudson River after the show, but I didn't... I won't make that mistake again! Here are some pictures from the show.
