BULLETBOYLESS
3/4 of the original BulletBoys (sans the singer) launch new group Lies, Deceit & Treachery

Los Angeles — Hard as a rock and ready to rock. Lies, Deceit & Treachery are on the books with a debut gig in the city of sin and it’s just around the corner. The Los Angeles based band is made up of 3 original and former (founding) BulletBoys members Mick Sweda (guitar), Lonnie Vencent (bass) and Jimmy D’Anda (drums). The guys have recruited Shane Tassart as their singer.

Ironic or not, but the bands name was quoted by BulletBoys singer Marq Torien exactly 1 year ago this week. Back on December 18th 2013 Torien took to social networks and stated: “The music business is Bullshit! Nothing changes, just the same ol F#9! Lies, deceit and treachery.” The singer continued with; “I love to be lied to. Especially from the ones you trust the most!”

Back to LDT, according to some recent updates via the band’s official facebook - they are killing it in rehearsals. The band uploaded snippets from studio that include “Hard As A Rock” and “Hell On My Heels.”

Sweda and Vencent along with Torien were part of the King Kobra revolving door back in the late 80’s. But that group eventually ran it’s course and the 3 started the BulletBoys brand with D’Anda on drums. They played a handful of Hollywood local shows and soon enough were snatched up by Warner Brothers Records. What followed was some solid success with 3 albums and scoring a big hit with “Smooth Up.” Torien has continued to tour with Bulletboys.

Lies, Deceit & Treachery is set to play Las Vegas at “Vamp’d” in early January 2015. See flyer below.

Somehow I knew you'd love this...LOL!

 

 

The only thing more useless than a 3/4 reunion of the original Bulletboys...

 

...would be a full reunion of the original Bulletboys.

Ah come on you know Smooth Up In Ya is one of the best songs of all time along with that album cover.

If anything you got to think these names out. I mean "Lies, Deceit, Treachery" isn't even a good acronym, LDT.

 

I mean c'mon! If you just swapped the Deceit and Treachery:

 

Lies, Treachery and Deceit or LTD.

 

Boom infinitely better.

 

Just like that damned Pink Velvet Krush band. Guys spell Krush with a "C" and you can acronym yourself "PVC".

 

You got to always be thinking of marketing and T-Shirt sales kids OK, its music 101.

I know you hate them but I still love the first three albums and half of Acid Monkey. The rest is bad and Marq certainly is a wank either way. But the music, I like :)

I'm with you mullethead, loved the first 3 and a few off acid monkey. Love the groove that sweda has in his playing but could live without that fkn track for the love of money!

A lot of people don't like ZaZa but I thought it was killer. The opening track is a ball buster!

The debut and 'Zaza' are great, imo. Especially the debut.

why is there such a disklike for buletboys? they've got some amazing records out.

I agree totally...the debut is one of the best releases in 1988.

 

Debut is classic

It's humourous that those first few yelps sound exactly like Marq, then when the singing starts the voice is totally different. I can only take that as an intentional slap to Marq.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
