DeWyze band far from idle The spotlight from "American Idol" casts a long shadow. Shining in this coast-to-coast mist is the group once known as the Lee DeWyze Band. The band used to back the "Idol" finalist from Mount Prospect, and its members have a colorful pedigree: Guitarist Louis Svitek was in the popular industrial metal band Ministry and the thrash band M.O.D. He also co-owns the independent WuLi Records in Chicago, for which DeWyze, 23, recorded two albums.
