New Drummer Debuts

This weekend marked the power performance debut of drummer, Mike O'Krongly, at Sheryl's on 175 in Ackerville. Mike's stunning sticks overwhelmed the crowd of old friends and new fans alike. Accolades abounded, as Mike added that much needed punch to all of the best Southern rock hits. Mike is right at home behind the kit and we are very happy to have added his talents to our lineup.

Mike, or as Turbo likes to call him, "Mr. Krongly", comes to us after a couple of stints with Liquid Crush and Crossfire, two very entertaining Milwaukee-area bands. Too bad for them and hooray for us! If you ask Mike, I'm sure he'll agree!!

So here's to many more! Welcome to the fold, Mike!!

Once again, we must bid farewell to Matt Liesman. For the second time, we have to thank Matt for his service, his wisecracks, and his "Mattitude"! We asked him to come back and fill in until we found the right guy who could take over behind the kit. We almost forgot how much fun it can be! We wish Matt all the best of luck as the coming year takes him to a new state, a new job, and yes, another new baby. You've got a lot to look forward in 2010!

And remember, Matt, even if you're no longer playing on the stage, you will always be a part of Lukyn Skywyrd!!
