300 Pounds CD (2005)
 $5.99
300 Pounds' self-titled debut is a collection of smooth eccentricities that play like the soundtrack to Lieby's coming-of-age. The track is silky, a party tune rivaling Ben Harper or fusion-rock icons Sublime "Got Nothing" moves at an energetic pace, but in a mellow surf-rock way. This album was the first incarnation of 300 Pounds. This track is timeless, pulling listeners into the torment of heartache and loneliness, showing Pounds' serious side. This solo work features Nate Lieby, all by his lonesome, playing everything from drums to the final bit of white noise on the album. The album, which began as a hip-hop experiment as the Creekans were fading, developed into a mixed bag - part techno funk, part Zappa-rock and part acoustic folk. "What Can't Be Found" weaves unplugged guitar hooks into a slick lament over a lost love. According to Lieby, the album is a collection of music, "focused on human interaction, life events and whatnot." Standout tracks, "Timeline," "Somet" and "Hush" are quirky windows into Lieby's life.

Metamorphosis CD (2005)
$5.99
Nate Lieby is a musical enigma. "The main reason we get out and play is that it is damn fun to just go out and rock," said Lieby. Somehow, despite countless hours of peering into computer screens, Lieby has managed to transcend nerdiness. And his band, 300 Pounds - a cross between Violent Femmes, They Might be Giants and Jack Johnson - is the proof. He is punctual, a rarity among musicians, grew up listening to NWA and Metallica, and earns a living as a software engineer. "300 Pounds was going to be a solo project where I didn't have to worry about anyone but myself. We enjoy playing the music we bring together as a band." For Lieby, who experienced some musical success in Santa Cruz with the ska band The Sneaky Creekans, 300 Pounds began as a solo act. "We enjoy playing music. We are palatable to a lot of people, but the music still has our own flare to it." When 300 Pounds bring their brand of nerd-rock to Britannia Arms Saturday night, get ready for a band who simply loves to play. After recording Pounds' album in his bedroom, and playing some small shows on his own, Lieby had a change of heart. "We're rock. We usually say eclectic rock. "Our music is hard to describe," said Lieby.
