Three is better than none
For now, LFO member Devin Lima, 24, is content being part of a trio, but "I'm recording a lot on my own to get stuff off my chest and experiment with other styles," he said recently on the phone from a tour stop in Pennsylvania.
About his pop-star life, Devin added: "I like it. It has its ups and downs. I have dreams, and some of my dreams came true. I'd rather be doing this than wishing to do this."
Devin and fellow LFO member Brad Fischetti live in Orlando and hang out together when they're home. "Brad is my best friend. I'm over his house all the time. My dog plays with his dog," Devin said.
LFO will perform at Tampa's Ice Palace on Aug. 25 as part of "The Big One" concert sponsored by WFLZ-FM 93.3. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are $9.33, $19.33 and $29.33; call (813) 287-8844.
