David Laracuente has recently put the finishing touches on the Florida based band’s new album 'Fire in The Heart'. The music that unfolds from this collection mixes a timeless brand of classic pop with updated alternative and rhythmic styles. Originally hailing from the big city of New York David Laracuente’s own musical background began at a young age when his parents encouraged him to play guitar. Weaned on bands such as The Beatles and The Who from the early radio days, Dave later fell in love with the sounds of British hard rock and the sweet sounds coming out of Motown. In 1971 Dave formed his first band Spice. 'Spice' was an acclaimed success in New York and opened for acts such as the 'The Isley Brothers' and 'Patti Labelle' amongst other artists of the day. 'Spice' recorded an album for boxing promoter 'Don King' at American Star Studios (West Virginia) ... a single from that album 'Everything is you' reached #16 on the Billboard Soul Charts.
In the late 1970’s Dave formed the Band 'Spring Fever' which was named one of New York City's ten most promising bands by WNBC radio and affiliates in 1980.
One of Dave's songs entitled 'Sneaking in the Back Door' was selected to be included on the 'WNBC Hometown Album' release in 1980 by DJ and Music Mogul Don Imus. After 'Spring Fever' broke up Dave went on to play as a studio musician for many recordings in some of America's finest Recording Studios including New York's 'Electric Ladyland Studios', 'The Hit Factory', and 'The PowerStation', among others. Dave continues to write a majority of 'Ferengata's' original music. He has written music for both TV and radio, including shows on 'HBO' 'Access Hollywood' for European radio and television. Dave’s song 'Celebration' also continues to be played on XM radio, Sirius satellite radio and played in Concert in many European countries.
