It came from Warrensburg, The Deserving Applause was the side project that became the main deal for Luke LoChiano. Playing in the Indie Rock band Too Beautiful to Die; LoChiano always had songs to write and things to say that didn't quite fit into the genre so he went out on his own. Releasing Pictures from the Shore in 2003 and You're the Victim in 2005, He's always looking to grow and try new things. Having played with the likes of The Forecast(Victory Records) and The Heavenly States, He is up to any show you can throw at him. Down to earth and real as they come, TDA is the true definition of the Singer/Songwriter. His Upcoming release titled The End is to be out this Christmas.
