Check out this latest album from Noom Sery called Lao Pen Lao (ລາວເປັນລາວ) meaning Lao is Lao. Ten original pop and rock songs are in the album and all of them are written by lead singer of the band.

Noom Sery Band is a pop/rock band from Grove city/Ohio. Band members include three awesome musicians with decades long experience Bounpone Vathananonh, Bay Vathananonh and Vinii Rattana.

Bounpone is a lead singer who also plays bass guitar and keyboard. Originally came from the southern province of Laos, precisely he is from Saphai village. It situates about seventeen kilometres north of Pakse, a capital city of the most populous southern province known as Champasak . Saphai village is known for it producing top quality Lao woman clothing and silk weaving. Today it is a popular tourist destination.  Activities include kayaking, fishing, sun baking at the most beautiful Mekong beach in nearby Donko Island.

Bounpone pens and sings all songs in this album. Ten original and fantastic pop and rock songs are available for your listening. He and Bay are brothers. They left Laos since they were very young and now they call America home.

Bounpone previously released his solo album in 2015. It’s self titled “Bounpone Vathananonh”. The album has eleven country gold songs. All of them are also written by Bounpone himself and produced by Vailmedia (www.vailmediadesign.com)

Bay Vathananonh plays drum. This drummer is very much talented and in control with big sticks. In this album Bay not only has this perfect opportunity to show off his ability to bang those tomtoms & gongs hard like a man, he also demonstrates quick feet to catch attention of dancing queens.

Sound like all these songs are written by Bounpone specifically for Bay to showcase his drumming skills.  So much emotion, storytelling and power illustrate.

Vinii Rattana is a third member of Noom Sery band. In fact he is a special guest musician whose invaluable contributions really makes all songs sound effortless cool. He plays lead, bass guitar and occasionally jumps on keyboard. This album produced and recorded by Vinii Rattana as well. He has his hands full in making this album great.

These three hard working musicians brought their vast experience as artists, performers and producers coming together to make this fine album ” Lao is Lao”. And hopefully in turn they will empower more youngsters or other musicians to produce more songs.
