The Laylanas

From: Brighton

Influences: Hayes Carll, Lucinda Williams, Fred Neil, Johnny Cash, Creedence Clearwater Revival, George Harrison, Nina Simone, Julie Driscol, Richie Havens, The Staples Singers and The Band.

Profile: The Laylanas was chosen yesterday from all the entries received over the past few weeks to take the vacant spot on The Argus Brighton Bands Stage at White Air on Sunday. Already veterans of Download Of The Week under their old guise as Lana McDee And The Os, the band has been building their reputation in Brighton this year with their pop and alt country sounds. Their White Air appearance will follow several days spent in the studio, and an appearance at the Out Of The Ordinary Festival in Hailsham.
