Last Stand For Lucy creates buzz all over again

Aug. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- LAST STAND FOR LUCY

Last Stand For Lucy originated in 1996 in Buffalo, New York under the name “Head to Wall”.  After playing for two years in Buffalo, they relocated to San Francisco.  Band members at that time were Michael O’Neil (vocals/guitar), Derek Nicholas (Bass/backing vocals) and Adam Cichuniec (drums).  

In 2005 Michael O’Neil enlisted as an Infantry Solider in the U.S. Army and served two years in Iraq.  He received the Purple Heart in 2006 for wounds he sustained by an IED attack.  During that time Derek Nicholas relocated to New York City and began working on developing his skills as a guitar player and songwriter.  In 2007 Michael and Derek decided to begin writing material for a new project called Last Stand For Lucy.  Derek recruited Glenn Derele to play drums in 2008 and the band records their first EP “Bastards of Gramercy” in September, 2009.  

Last Stand For Lucy released their 4 song EP, “Bastards of Gramercy” in April 2010.  
Their new lead single, “Burn Everything”, is off their debut EP, “Bastards of Gramercy”.  “This single reflects the destructive impulses of a person who has abandoned hope for already desperate state of affairs”, states Michael.  It’s theme is about regret and despair.  This EP was released on April 15, 2010.  It is representative of the overall feel of this EP, highlighting each individual musician’s personality and talent.  The feeling you get when you listen to this particular song is a cry for help and a cry for salvation.  This deep emotion is portrayed not only by the vocal styling’s of Michael, but the ‘dueling’ guitars that also bring sensation and dynamics to this song.  There are plenty of very catchy guitar hooks and melodic cells within these songs that create a signature sound for this group.   In fact the entire EP consists of dynamic lyrics played with dynamic force and conviction.  The marriage between voice, lyrics and musical talent, takes Last Stand For Lucy to a new level.  

AT this time, Last Stand For Lucy is playing in New York City and surrounding areas.
