His parents were worried. His neighbors \u2014 annoyed. They still are. A child of the \u201970s, Chuck Lazaras<\/strong> was that weirdo down the street \u2014 the crazed, long-haired Florida kid consumed by superhero comics, horror movies and brash rock and roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During those shag-covered days of muscle cars, mood rings and Evel Knievel<\/strong>, Chuck craved the macabre anthems of Alice Cooper<\/strong>, the blood-spitting theatrics of KISS<\/strong> and the golden god swagger of Van Halen<\/strong>. Inspired by Tony Iommi\u2019s<\/strong> frenzied riffs and Rick Nielsen\u2019s<\/strong> infectious hooks, Chuck soon began playing guitar and writing songs. And in no time, he\u2019d launched his own local garage band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a hopelessly \u201cdistracted\u201d teenager in the \u201980s, Chuck skipped school frequently \u2014 riding his bike to the neighborhood record shop in order to score the latest LPs from the Ramone<\/strong>s, Dead Serios<\/strong> and the Misfits<\/strong> on the very first day of release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the \u201990s, Chuck was rising to a place of prominence on the underground Florida music scene \u2014 founding, fronting and playing guitar in such bands as Lazaras<\/strong> and Skurvy the Clown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, he\u2019s recognized as an established go-to guitar guru \u2014 an in-demand live hired gun and studio session player. Equally, he\u2019s acknowledged as a songwriting collaborator and producer on an array of projects for various artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Chuck not only carries on with his longtime band, Lazaras<\/strong>, he plays for the celebrated Tampa-based punk combo, Boney Fiend<\/strong>, while also serving as the guitarist and musical director for former Dead Serios<\/strong> frontman, DL Serios.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
