L.R.D. Band Biography
LRD Band, possibly the biggest and best well-known rock/blues act in South Korea.
The multi-national foursome is made up of the exceptional:
Lance Reegan-Diehl (Canada) on guitar and vocals,
the stunningly soulful Megan Kim (Canadian/Korean) on vocals,
David Dauberman (U.S.A. - Sgt. Army Reserves) outstandingly faultless on bass.
While perhaps the band is most famous for the front man Lance Reegan-Diehl (LRD),
with his mesmerizing guitar work, all the group members are each as important as any
one else, each delivering their own vital and unique component which make
the L.R.D. Band such a must see on any music tour of Seoul!
While comparisons and debates over similarities of style and influences are best left
to seeing them show. Described as 'Yngwie Malmsteen meets Pink Flyod and Stevie Ray-Vaughan'
If you hear them play live, be it their own storming fresh material or a cover version you'll
find that the influences stretch from the hardest rock right up to the deepest blues.
You will find it hard to disagree that these guys are awesome!
The band themselves have been playing together all over Korea and Asia for 25 years.
While a majority of their shows and efforts have been within the confines of Seoul.
They have also held gigs in Daejon, Daegu, Osan, Uijeongbu, Kunsan all over Korea
and as far south as Gwangju and Busan!
They are also quite familiar among the members of the U.S. Armed Forces in Asia
for their numerous and frequent performances for the Troops and Allies.
The L.R.D. Band's album's and one solo album are, The Monday Night Blues,
All blues recording 14 tracks and, Internal Construction made of 12 tracks,
mostly all original material, is a mix of hard rock, blues, soulful lyrics
and L.R.D.'s own distinctive sound which has echoed around Korea the past few years.
The highlights of the Album, of which there are many, must include Moment in motion,
Living Dream and New Sworn Enemy all blending the four members together perfectly.
Two older songs Lonely and Little Girl also stand out sufficiently for mention!
