Lollygag began in late 2004 when Brian Burkhard won some recording time at Engine Studios in Chicago. Studio owner, Brian Deck, created the contest where participants were required to create a song based on any number of obscure loops or samples. With the free studio time given to Burkhard, he jumped at the opportunity. Harking back more to the rock tinged pop of his former group Fondly (Mercury Records) rather than his recent electronica project Echolalia, Burkhard has written a batch of melodic melodies and an album's worth of songs. The current project includes the effusively pensive Nick Bartzen on Drums and the effervescent Jake Bartolone on Bass. Nick aspires to be as good as Gary Young on a solidly drunk Pavement frenzy. Meanwhile, in Jake's spare time, he doubles as a ninja in the super group Bang Camaro. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
