Sicboy Lose Guitarist
Sicboy is sad to announce that Larry Settembrini (Rhythm Guitar) has decided to leave the band to focus on other ventures. Larry joined the band in the summer of 2000 and has played a great role in Sicboy's evolution and shaping of the band's current sound. His last efforts and songwriting will be heard on the band's upcoming EP
Tease. He is solely responsible for the debut track off Tease, 'Born Again', a song the band feels is one of their best to date. Larry will be performing with the band one last time, this Saturday at the aptly named venue, Cousin Larry's in Danbury CT.
Sicboy fully intends to fill the void left by Larry in the near future.
