"Better Than Work" is a Pittsburgh based orginal band that began when saxophonist Jake Werkmeister and guitarist/singer/songwriter Mike Plutt decided to put a band together during the winter of . Through a mutual friend they met fluatist/composer Gabe Antkowski, who originally auditioned to play the bass. Jake then went to search for a drummer. After auditioning drummers throughout the city, some of whom sent tapes in from out of state, Jake found Jeff Martin. Jeff's jazz/rock style and love for Mitch Mitchell and John Bonham was exactly what the newly formed band was looking for. So the quartet practiced together for several months, and songs were being written, but something seemed to be missing. Gabe and Jake would take turns playing bass while the other played their respective woodwind. Then almost by accident, the two began to trade riffs and work with harmonized horn parts. BINGO!!! The sax/flute duet created the unique texture that the band was looking for. Now, there was just one problem. Who was going to play bass? Andy Dzura who was an old friend/drummer of Jake's would quickly solve the problem. He introduced the band to the funky bassline stylings of Ryan Suley, who instantly fit the band like a glove. Now the band is getting ready to record their first SELF PRODUCED ALBUM. They have already begun to play gigs and are working along with several other bands to create a new music scene in Pittsburgh that will no doubt turn some heads. We'll be sure to keep you up to date. But for right now it's all about... Bad Pay, No Roadies, and No Groupies, but it's still BETTER THAN WORK!!!
This Band has four members with Luke as guitarist/vocal/Harmonica, Tommy playing guitar/keyboard, Adam on the drums, and finaly Nick on bass guitar. This band isn't like other bands. These band players are at age !!! These four kids have been friends since first grade. Amazing is'nt it, but thats not all. They might be coming out with a CD with supposedly songs but the most known one is Hit the Ground. And if you have any questions or if you have a comment leave it on the page called questions and comments. Thank you for your support!
Luke and Tommy (our guitar players) both take lessons from Brian, a wonderful guitarist. Luke has good talent on guitar, saxaphone, and mouth organ (Harmonica). He has played guitar for a total of two and a half years and he loves to make jokes and have fun! Tommy has amazing talent also. He is a fantastic guitar player and an even better paino player. In fact Tommy plays french horn in school band. He's incredibly funny. We both have a Squier Stratocaster which is no good but it works. We're trying to save up for new Guitars, preferably a black for one of us and a white for the other. Even our bass guitar is a squier but anyway we're savin' up.
Adam (our drummer) has awesome talent and he's really nice too. He was practically born with drum sticks in his hands! He started up on drum lessons years ago. This is his fifth year. He is years old. Adam was born with the rythm in his heart. But poor Adam has to carry along all his drums (while all we have is amps and guitars. HE HE!) He has an older CB drumset but plans on purchesing a new one in the near future.
Nick (our bass player) isn't a pure rockstar yet, but he has a lot of potential. Still, Nick can play and that's all that matters. He is also very nice and likes to make us all laugh (if Luke doesn't). He purchesed a white/red Squier P-Bass. He is also taking lessons from Mike, a great bass player who has played in several bands through out his playing career. Nick has pprogressed very well.

LeHorla's music is undoubtedly a bridge between the genres. They push the
envelope with their ever-building intensity; braving the boundaries of progressive,
classic, punk, "stoner" and space rock, giving way to their bludgeoning,
hyper-percussive metal syncopations and clever timings, sometimes leaning on beds
of drum and bass, or house inspired electronica. LeHorla's music is both exciting and
reflective; shedding the genre'd cacophony of their influences and emerging a
"sound" all their own.
