LaDezma = the art of beating someone to death, then saving their life so they owe you theirs.
In the summer of 2001, Alex and Dave left their current band due to creative differences. Soon after, Abe came into the mix and started to sit in while Alex experimented with a unique sound. His idea was to put a grunge distortion pedal on his bass and play it like a guitar and so LaDezma was born. In the early days of LaDezma, there were no guitars. During this time, they worked on writing new songs and experimenting with this unique "double-bass" sound.

LaDezma's first demo was appropriately named “LaDezma: We Don’t Need No Stinking Guitars” It was a rough demo recorded at Sonic Groove Studios in Davie, Florida. Eventually, however, LaDezma realized that they would need to incorporate a guitar to move forward as a band. Alex moved to lead guitar and vocals and LaDezma forged ahead as a three-piece band. During this time, LaDezma has played numerous shows at some of South Florida's hottest live music venues:

Murphy's Law at The Hollywood Hard Rock Casino O'Malleys in Margate Tavern 213 Jesse's Extreme Sports Bar Dicey Riley's Murphy's Downtown Tarpon Bend

Despite their success, LaDezma was searching for one last missing piece. They knew they needed another guitar that would allow Alex to focus more on being the dynamic frontman that the band needed him to be. In the summer of 2005, after months of auditions, the "piece that was missing" was officially found. Chris officially took over as lead guitar on September 1, 2005. His determination, energy, and knowledge has immediately provided the spark to push LaDezma into a new dimension.
