Luzer

LUZER is a four-piece power pop band from Hamilton Township, a suburb of Trenton, New Jersey.

Background

LUZER was formed by four students--Singer/guitarist/songwriter "Timmy Sean" Mahoney, drummer Dan Seeth, lead guitarist R. Dan Salyerds (known as Sally), and Bassist Chris Volk--at Steinert High School in 1999. At its formation in late 1999, Tim, Dan, and Sally were high school juniors, and Chris a sophomore. Tim Mahoney and Seeth (both formally of Life In General) brought in lead guitarist Salyerds to record their first independent LP, jokingly entitled Greatest Hits, in the summer of 2000. LUZER performed throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania at music festivals, colleges, and clubs, building up a local following and selling copies of their debut album “Greatest Hits.” In August 2006, Salyerds (Sally) left the band and was replaced by Krishna "The Mania" Vasudevan. LUZER was also joined on certain performances by Philadelphia keyboardist John Icaro. [http://www.luzeronline.com/ LUZERonline.com] ]

Supporting acts such as The Beach Boys, Albert Hammond Jr. of The Strokes, and Tim's uncles The Mahoney Brothers, LUZER toured extensively, playing weekend mini-tours and music conferences. [http://cdbaby.com/cd/luzer2 Fake Ass Rock Star EPisode II] ] LUZER's influences ranged from The Beatles to KISS to The Beach Boys, The Cars, and Queen. LUZER's first national tour was in support of a Beatles tribute act, Long Live The Beatles. All of the band’s songs were written by Mahoney, who had known Seeth since junior high school and Volk since he was a small child. Very conscious of their appearance and persona, the band’s members worked together to find an individual look for each member. The band was also recognized for catchy hooks and stage theatrics reminiscent of Kiss and Cheap Trick. The band released two E.P.’s, two full-length albums, and a live CD.
