FarCry!

FarCry is:

Mike Ledesma - Vocals
Pete Fry - Lead Guitars
Angelo Mazza - Rhythm Guitars
Ronnie Parkes - Bass

This was my original project I signed on with Kivel Records for, but due to some SNAFU's along the way, and a brief detour to join (and quit) Rockarma, we finally got this nailed down! Mark's a FANTASTIC singer, and if you don't believe me and you're in Vegas, go check out "Bite!" at the Stratosphere where Mark can be seen nightly playing "The Rockstar" and singing some killer rock tunes from the 70's and 80's... this guy can SING!

The CD "High Gear" was produced by Ty Sims of Bombay Black, as was the Rockarma CD, so you can expect some BIG sounds to come out of your player when you pop this bad boy in! It's available now at the FarCry Merch page, support your independent musicians and buy a CD,a t-shirt, a poster or all three!!!

Keep it loud, and stay proud! \m/

Comment by Pete Fry on May 18, 2011 at 9:52am: It is with deep regret we announce that for reasons of his own, Mark Giovi (lead vocals) has decided to leave FarCry, effective immediately. Mark explained that recent events unrelated to FarCry led up to this difficult decision for him. We truly wish Mark all the best in his future endeavors, and know that he’ll be successful in whatever he takes on.

After searching far and wide for someone to fill some big shoes, Mike Ledesma becomes the new vocalist for FarCry, bringing an incredible range, and a wealth of live experience singing melodic rock to the band. Rehearsals are underway as we speak so that we can fulfill our upcoming live commitments as seamlessly as possible. After hearing Mike sing, not only do we believe that he will be able to handle our existing repertoire live, but will definitely be a big part of the future direction for FarCry.

A little bit about Mike:

Mike Ledesma is a singer/songwriter/guitarist from New York City who began a music career at 18 when his first band, Devoshun, released a single on SMI Records featuring his guitar work, which landed him a job as a session guitarist for CBS Records and April Blackwood Productions. In just 2 short years he went from being a studio guitarist on commercials to being a staff writer/producer for RCA Records and Emerald Forest Music Publishing, an experience that taught him the value of good singers.

He had been singing since he was a child but it was time to learn real technique. He currently studies vocal mastery with voice coach Roger Posy. His vocal influences include Lou Gramm, Aretha Franklin, Dion Dimucci (The Belmonts), and Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops).

Mike has fronted NYC metal bands Panther, Next of Kin, and Hangtown during the heyday of the hair band era, and now sings for tribute acts Head Games The Foreigner Tribute, Adrenalize Def Leppard Tribute, and writes original music with many different local musicians. Mike has recently worked with Ted Poley and Vic Rivera as background singer and guitarist both live and in the studio. Mike is also an accomplished jazz guitarist and is now studying his new passion, flamenco guitar, with NYC teacher Dennis Koster.

We hope you’ll come out and see us as soon as possible and welcome Mike to the band!

Comment by Pete Fry on May 5, 2011 at 1:44pm: Belgians do the fruit beer best IMO...

So Vili, will we be seeing you in Nottingham at Firefest in October? :-)

Comment by IZZY-TheMaster-insanityfeelsgood on May 5, 2011 at 1:35pm: Hahaha Tash maybe is not only american thing the fruit flavoured beer i mean. Here in England they are quite popular too but i never get why either. I mean if i want a fruit flavoured drink i have juice.

On the buss topic, if they all feel the same try to get hit by double deck buss it might feel different.;D
