The Fling is a band from Long Beach, CA consisting of Dustin Lovelis (guitars, vocals), Graham Lovelis (bass, vocals), Justin Roeland (guitars, keys, vocals), and Justin Ivey (drums). Originally formed in 2005 by Dustin as a side project, with help from Graham, his younger brother, and friends; it wasn't until 2007 that Justin Ivey joined. Along with Justin came Joel Bond, their original guitar player, who left the band in early 2008. Scotty Cantino from Francisco The Man filled in until Justin Roeland was added to the lineup. The group draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of folk, rock, pop and psychedelic music. Their sound has been described as "classic ’60s pop, ’90s alternative, and contemporary indie-rock clashing fluidly to create a strangely nostalgic effect." [1] Lonely Fool has been played steadily on local radio stations Indie 103.1 and KROQ 106.7. In March of 2009, they released a two-song 7" record and went on a national tour in support of it. They are currently touring and writing their debut full-length album.
