About the Band
Broken Lane is an Acoustic Rock'n'Roll band that makes their home in Riverside, Los Angeles and Orange counties. The band was originally formed in 2004 by Josh and Law who attended high school together and had formerly been singing in an a-capella group for the past two years. After growing tired of "just singing", they decided to start a Rock 'n' Roll band. The original band was un-named and consisted of seven members including Josh, Law and Juzz. As time passed, changes were made, members were cut from the band, left for other groups and added to the band. By the end of 2005, only Law, Josh and Juzz remained. The trio tried several bassists out for the band but none really stuck until they broke Law's biggest rule about the band: "No Girls Allowed!"... Mel originally joined the band for a battle of the bands competition as a one time fill-in for their bassist at the time. Thing is... She was better than the other bassist in every way. The battle passed, Broken Lane won and Mel went on her own way. Eventually, the guys were back to three members. They all knew exactly who they wanted in the band. When Mel officially joined Broken Lane, she broke a curse that the guys feared they'd never be rid of. What you see below are now four of the closest friends you'll ever get a chance to meet and we invite you to join our journey along the Broken Lane.

Name: Juzz
Instruments: Drum Set, quena, djembe, duduc, voice

Instead of ridalin, someone gave ten year old Juzz drumsticks and he's played the world ever since. Along with his unique busy style on the drum set, mild ADD granted Broken Lane's drummer an original and skillful approach to hand percussion and tribal flutes. Having spent his life learning to play tables, cabinets and unfortunate karaoke judges, Juzz has developed a distaste for the 'usual' way of things. 'Proper' isn't in the young spiritualist's vocabulary, nor in his writing style. Juzz adds a playfulness to the band's sound in his drumming and a brimming spirituality through his writing.

Name: Law
Instruments: Piano/keys, guitar, harmonica, mandolin, organ, drums, bass, voice

Law's larger than life, unstoppable attitude blasts through his writing in a seemingly contradictory subtlety. A trained Jazz pianish; he's a future mastermind within his generation, boasting skill with several instruments. His core philosophy is one without limitation, without inhibition. He set's the foundation for the band's Fervor and raw grit with the addition of his unusual guitar rythms, jazz piano and passionate vocals.

Name: Josh
Instruments: Guitar, harmonica, didgeridoo, vocals

Josh sang his first words, laughs in harmony and snores chords... Seriously... He leapt from honor choir to honor choir growing up. When his middle school told him they had no choir, he rode his bike four miles in fifteen minutes everyday to a school that did. That school happily made an exception in their cohir's enrollment for his voice. Later, after several flaky singing groups, Josh dropped the a-capella gig, picked up a guitar and started writing. Broken Lane's dreamy loftiness rolls from Josh's corner, a welcome addition to Law's epic style of writing.

Name: Mel
Instruments: Bass, guitar, voice

Mel forsook dresses the day they nrearly inhibited her dishing of a well deserved schoolyard whoopin'. Fromt hen on, she was one of the guys. She turned a cold shoulder to ballet and dolls and instead picked up soccer and the guitar. Instead of the cheer squad, she joined the drum-line. Music turned from a life long hobby to life itself on the night after her first show with Broken Lane. The boys readily accepted her calm collected bass into their sound. Now, she fuels the band's cool and offers sweetness to their sound in both her vocals and writing.
