The collective foursome known as Souls Of We marks a new beginningfor legendary guitarist George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob) and Charismatic frontman London Legrand (Brides Of Destruction). Lynch and Legrand came together by a chance meeting on Melrose.
"Back when George was putting together Lynch Mob, I read in a magazine that he was looking for a singer" explains Legrand. "I made a home-made audition tape on my jam box and sent it to his manager, but I never got a call back. Anyway, years later I'm standing on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood and I see George. I decided I didn't have anything to lose, so I walked up to him and said, How come you never got back to me on that tape? He looked confused at first and then started laughing.
"We hit it off immediately and he invited me to come check out a new batch of songs he was working on. He gave me a tape of music, and that night I went home and finished 3 songs.”
The chemistry between Lynch and Legrand was instant and undeniable.
"London is a unique visionary and poet" states Lynch. "His words are powerful and descriptive. I feel like I have finally found my musical soulmate.”
Rounding out the line-up is powerhouse drummer Yael (Tom Morello, Alex Skolnick) and bassist Johny Chow (Systematic, Fireball Ministry).
"Souls Of We is a dream band where I got to pick and chose players not because one is more famous than the other, but because I really respect and want to play with these people" states Lynch.
"We went in to this project with no funding, no label, no producer and no band” explains Lynch. “We were just doing demos and making the music that we wanted to make. There was no one looking over our shoulders and no deadlines.”
We’re all brothers and sisters, the Souls Of We, And unity we will probably never conquer in this dog eat dog world of betrayal and judgment, but if one can look to what has put us there and overlook the imperfections that hold us there and acknowledge the beauty in our efforts to communicate while trying to scratch to the top, they will be closer to realizing that we are all THE SOULS OF WE
