The Leeches: Hear em and come see a show.
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2002 4:35 pm
I am writing from a band called The Leeches , we are an avant punk female fronted band based in London, England. We are coming over to play the East Coast next month.
THE LEECHES, like all English people, are a miserable bunch of cynical, sexually repressed, embittered, lazy, beer-soaked, emotionally retarded, incomprehensible depressives......
THE LEECHES play their own high-energy brand of twisted anglo-ironic artpunk. When not attacking the establishment they’re quite happy to turn nasty on each other, their live shows teetering on disaster as they try their damnedest to cause each other embarrasment and injury.
Praised by The Guardian newspaper as “punk-art prodigies” they are proud to represent London at its best. Active, attractive and witty, they exhibit all the charms of their forebears, with the added talent of actually being able to play their instruments really rather well.
Sugar ‘n’ spite lyrics, guitars ranging from the perversely pretty to downright disembowelling........and a drummer whose dad famously told The Beatles that they’d never get anywhere with a name like that.
Currently riding on three singles released on their own label Medical Records, they have residencies at a number of top London venues including a rather notorious lap dancing club. Equally content to play to 30 or 3,000 people, THE LEECHES continue their quest to be a complete fucking nuisance.
......and they’re coming to America!
