We talk to Richard Bacchus - Guitarist for D Generation and frontman for his own rock n roll band The Luckiest Girls. No part of Richard's journey from a young boy to where he is today has been what might be considered the norm. Born in the UK before leaving for St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the West Indies at just a few years old, he would finally relocate and begin to call New York City his home. Here his journey into the punk rock underground of the iconic city as a young teenager would cast it's spell on Richard's career. It would allow him to cross paths with Punk Rock and Pop royalty before starting his own musical journey in bands alongside members of The Ramones and NY Loose before tasting the last gasp of big record label influence with D Generation.
