THE INFIDELS (1986)
In the spring of 1983, Blue Ash Frank Secich began managing the Infidels. A few months later John Koury replaced Ken Laverty as the Infidels drummer. John brought an appropriate style to the bands sound that made the lineup complete.
The band recorded "It's Alright," "Poor Little Rich Girl," "I Can't Take It No More," "A Thousand Years Ago," and "Mad About That Girl" with Frank and engineer Paul Pope, they had what they viewed to be professional management, lots of successful gigs ranging from New York City nightclubs to screaming highschool auditoriums.......hmmmm, the future was wide open!
1985 brought on the release of the bands first single "Mad About That Girl" backed with "A Thousand Years Ago". This came out on Jims Records which hailed out of Pittsburgh Pa. The "A" side was penned and sung by bassist John Hlumyk. This proved to be kind of a blow in expectations to singer and now rhythm guitarist Tony Mentzer, but at the same time this was symbolic of the growth and direction that the band was moving in. By early summer of 1985, Mentzer was asked to leave the band and was replaced by David Lisko a 21 year old guitar player, who had played with John Koury in a band called Problems. David debuted with the band on the eve of the release of "Mad About That Girl." Incredibly infectious, the single received heavy airplay in the Western Pa. and North Eastern Ohio regions and combined with the guidance and work of Secich, the band shot into a regional spotlight that ran between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. "Mad About That Girl" came out in Europe as an album on the GMG label out of Paris in early 1986. During this time the band had recorded and released "Infidels X4" a 7" four song EP.
All subsequent releases exist on cd - "9.25 and Seven Seconds" was released in 1988, "Wondrous Strange" in 1990 - John Koury and David Lisko left the band in May of 1991. "All For Nothing" in 2003. All of them should be available through Not Lame
