"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!!!
