SUMMARY:Tambourine Club
DESCRIPTION: 21+ $7  above: Bryan Lamanno\, The Tambourine Club Bryan 
	Lamanno used to work at a Nashville\, Tennessee recording studio for a
	 couple of years. Afterward\, he worked for a record store company in 
	Baltimore\, Maryland and moved to Kansas City in 2007. These places ar
	e a home away from home for Lamanno. "I consider them both still 'home
	s' of mine since I spent a significant amount of time in both\," he sa
	ys. "Also\, I learned a great deal about different sides of the music 
	business in each city." Lamanno formed The Tambourine Club to accommod
	ate his music making while residing in different locales and working w
	ith various musicians. "I have been writing songs and recording for ye
	ars looking for the right people to play with. I finally created this 
	'club' while living in Baltmore\, because I was tired of having the pr
	ogress of my music stopped by moving to a different city\," he says. "
	Now\, with the Tambourine Club\, it does not matter if I have to move 
	to another city again\, and it does not matter if a member/player of t
	he club does not work out\, I will still be at the heart of it since I
	 created and it will continue to move forward." Stylistically\, the mu
	sic is born out of the singer-songwriter tradition and Lamanno intends
	 for it to grow up in Kansas City. "I am not planning on moving becaus
	e I love Kansas City\, and it is my original home. And recently\, I ha
	ve found two great musicians who are also great people to be around an
	d play with\," says Lamanno. "Our drummer Jason Wade moved to Lawrence
	 from the Washington\, D.C. area around the same time I moved back her
	e from Baltimore. Our bass player Ricky Jones moved here from outside 
	of St. Louis. I feel it is meant to be that we all found each other. W
	e are eager to start playing shows soon in the Kansas City and Lawrenc
	e\, Kansas area\, as well as starting to venture out nationally to pla
	y shows." "I cannot tell you what kind of sound we are going for. We h
	ave lots of influences and I believe our songs have a wide array of 's
	ounds' to them\," explains Lamanno. "People have said we sound like th
	e Pixies\, Flaming Lips\, and Oasis to name a few. Those are all bands
	 we like. All I can say is the sound that comes out is just a mix of e
	verything we listen to." One of the band's catchiest tracks\, "Kansas 
	City\," is dubbed after Lamanno's hometown\, but was written in Baltim
	ore. "It's about my love-hate relationship with the Kansas City music 
	scene\, and it's about the fact that the country still looks to other 
	places such as New York and L.A. for the most part when it comes to mu
	sic\, or other 'happenings\,'" says Lamanno. " When the fact is\, Kans
	as City is a great place\, and it has just as much to offer as those. 
	It's just too bad that most of the country won't recognize it as much 
	for what it is. Most people who are not from here don't even realize i
	t's a 'real city.' When I moved to Baltimore\, everyone there thought 
	we all milked our own cows for milk!" --PresentMagazine.com Website:ww
