When did you guys start L.U.S.T ? And how did you guys form the band?

L.U.S.T. started in 2006, with Sindy and myself continuing our musical partnership from the ashes of our previous band "The Skanks" which broke up because I put something somewhere I shouldn't have.

We met in 2004 through a school friend of his who ran into me in Newtown outside my highschool, thought I looked like a Ramone and decided to form a band. Mikey actually played bass in The Skanks right before we broke up in 2005 for two shows, then in 2007 in search of a new singer, he blew us away with his voice and it was like "how come you never told us you could sing like that?!"

Chris jumped on board right before the Ace Frehley tour when our last bass player quit, and now here we are. We've been though a lot of musicians (three other guitarists, two other bass players and another singer) to build the tight unit that we have now, and we've become more like brothers than a band.
