Look for new Liecus review/ interview in upcoming issue #27 of Urban Mainstream
Liecus has transformed into a five piece band as of late.
Liecus picked up WV native Joe Walbrown and delegated him to the shreading of the bass guitar, while Neil Liecus' long time bass player has moved over and taken the helm as guitarist.
With a few practices under thier belt Liecus has been writing and practicing with the new dynamic of the five piece. The band is real excited about the addition as it has brought a new enhanced sound and feel to the group. I'm sure fans and friends will appreciate it as well.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for new studio releases and tour dates.
