SON OF SCIENCE Announce New Lineup
April 3, 2007, 17 years ago
SON OF SCIENCE, the band formed by former DRAGONFORCE bassist Adrian Lambert, check in with the following update from guitarist Lee Cassidy:
"Things have changed drastically in the SoS line-up. (Singer) Greg (Pope) has decided to leave the band to focus on his own material. We have enormous respect for Greg as a musician and we wish him all the best with it. We're good friends so we'll keep in close contact.Stepping in to the vocalist slot is Leon Murial, who blew us away with his incredible range, control and approach to progressive music. With just one week in the job Leon dominated the stage at PPUK's pre-show party last weekend and impressed the hell out of everyone in the band and audience!
We've also found a replacement keyboard player in the form of Phil Wickens.
Phil is an old friend of mine and Ade's from a band we used to play in. Knowing what an incredible player he is, we'd often spoken about asking him to join the band and finally got around to it, and he said yes!
With just 3 rehearsals Phil was sharing the PPUK stage with us and nailed everything!
Last but by no means least, we've also found a permanent guitarist! Jake Willson auditioned with us at the same time as Phil, 2 weeks ago, and after just 3 rehearsals played live with us. Jake's a fantastic player and is into lots of great prog and fusion. He'll be bringing a lot more shred to our songs.
So, here's the new Son of Science!
Look forward to seeing you all at some shows!"
