Lizhard is a Hard Rock band from Italy. It all starts in a small town called Rescaldina near Milan, around 1995 when Luca “Ze†Moroni (bass) asks Ricky Lecchini (drums) to form a band called “Lego†(in a few years he decides to change the band’s name into Lizhard, a joke between the singer’s name Liza and the genre they play). Beginning as a cover band, they play a lots of hard rock hits for many years during their live shows in northern Italy and Switzerland.
Thanks to their born-out friendship, transmitted during their power shows, and the captivating voice of Luke Marsilio, the band is soon appreciated by the audience. So they decide to start writing their own music.
In 2005 they record a 5 track Ep called “Sexy Lolitaâ€, entirely sung in Italian, thanks to some Italian label contact of the guitar player “Alberto Colombo†that now plays with the band only during their live gigs, but it is not their way. When Paul Mainetti (guitars) joins the band they soon decide to go back to their pure hard ’n’ roll sound and start working on some new material written by by Luca “Ze†Moroni.
The band arranges their songs trying to preserve the sounds and the warmth of 80’s and 90’s classic hard rock. In june 2008 the finish the recordings of their new album “Rock’n’roll is backâ€. During the first months of 2008 they open for former Mr.Big singer Eric Martin & Twin Dragons, getting great feedback from the audience and critics.The album has been co-produced, mixed and mastered by Alessandro Del Vecchio, musician known worldwide for his collaborations with acts like Edge Of Forever, Moonstone Project, Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice, Jeff Scott Soto, Axe and many others.
…the rest is written in their music and on their website. Lizhard band members are: Luke Marsilio (Voice, acoustic guitar and harmonica), Paul Mainetti (Guitar), Colombo Alberto (Guitar), Luca “Ze†Moroni (Bass) and Ricky Lecchini (Drums)
