Lyster Shailes

About Me

Lyster Shailes was formed from the shards of a previous band involving Chris, Glen and Dave. Starting as a covers band, they began writing originals, and after the departure of their bass player, the three continued gigging and writing acoustically until the final members of Lyster Shailes came along. Alex Donhou, who after a baptism of fire at a local venue, was instated as the lead guitarist and so was introduced 'the anchor', bass player Chris Gunkel, whose rock solid groove completed the bands explosive live sound.The band have worked in the shadows to write and develop their songs, and continue their progression still, recording and gigging. Hope to see you there soon! ..............It's not Illusion, Just Evolution...........
