LaGrecia
www.myspace.com/lagreciamusic
Lagrecia split in 2008, before the release of their first album (which will still be released). Lagrecia was a project started by Jason Shevchuk (formerly of Kid Dynamite and None More Black), Dana Berkowitz (formerly of Red Sparrowes), and Sal Dellaquila.
When None More Black disbanded, Jason had no intentions of starting another band. Instead he had planned on writing and recording a solo record under the name On Guard. When we had caught wind of On Guard, I wrote Jason letting him know of my interest in putting out something for his band and as luck would have it, he wrote me back and said that he would be interested in doing something.
As writing and demoing continued, Jason had contacted Dana to record the drums. As the two worked together, things just came together. Jason said, “Dana and I have been writing and it’s going way better than I had hoped. It’s some of the coolest shit I’ve done (but then again i say that about everything new). I think we are actually gonna be a band. I thought it unfair to dictate the name of the group just because I was doing it solo.” A recent trip to Richmond inspired the band to find a name, LaGrecia. In a Myspace blog, Jason said the following:
Sorry for the dissappearing act I pulled last month. Dana and I were sorting this shit out. So here is the deal.
OnGuard is dead. My only release was as song on the Generic Insight Radio Comp.
For those of you who followed the trail here….I can’t thank you enough for your support.
After None More Black, I thought I would take a simple, more laid back approach to music. That didn’t last long. Although it was therapeutic….the fact is I’m a screamer not a crooner. And lately I feel like I’ve got a lot to scream about. (yes I started a sentence with “And”)
That said…
