Four bands in various stages of hiatus, some from COVID, some from garden variety band drama. A want ad from someone in the neighborhood to “just jam and see what happens”, a Facebook acquaintince that had been wanting to work together for years. DLB didn’t seem to come about in the usual way of a single idea from one guy, or the ashes of something that came before; it came from a couple of guys taking the chance to reach out and make a connection, with face masks, social distancing, and, of course hand sanitizer to see what would happen.
Taking cues from classic rock, hard rock, grunge, and metal, Die Like Bothans performs music that feels both familiar and fresh at the same time.

everybody sings… including the audience.
