User:Necktie Social

Necktie Social was conceived in 2004 by guitarist Dustin Lyon. After a difficult 2 year journey through the music scene, the band was completed with 4 talented musicians who set out to play loud, hard, pure rock n roll music.

Guitarist Dustin Lyon's playing could be described as no nonsense, up front, and raw. He blends the familiar feel of old school riffs with a modern heavier style. Dustin can capture the vibe and feel of a song, representing it in a head-turning solo.

When bassist MikeZilla Dwyer joined the band, Dustin knew that he was the right man for the job. With his unique style, old school approach to his instrument, and balls out riff writing, he filled out the low end perfectly.

Drummer Josh Lewis rounded out the rhythm section. The band knew they had found their man when they heard his hard hitting aggressive style. His eye catching showmanship adds to the band's high energy performance.

The most difficult position to fill was that of the singer. Many adds were placed and many auditions were held. It wasn't until Carlos Castaneda contacted the boys through a personal ad put up on the internet, did they get lucky on their quest for a vocalist. His drive and motivation was apparent from the very beginning. He showed up to the first try-out with lyrics he had already written to two of the band's songs. His preparedness was impressive and his singing and lyric writing complemented the style of the band well.

In mid 2006, Necktie Social was complete. The group of 4 young men set out to play the nitty-gritty, bare bones of rock music. They look forward to continuing to share their music with the world.
