Former members of altaRego come together to invent an infectious electro/analog sound that transcends music boundaries and brings that energy to the stage. Both an artist and producer, C-leb writes and co-develops the songs with A-Bro (formerly of altaRego) to mix the music live. Seeking to develop a style that would ignite the crowd and combine the club with the rock venue, C-Leb uses bass driven electro-house sounds with analog guitars (Adrian formerly of The Glasses), samples and live vocals (Bee Simonds) to bring the "BOOM" to every show.
"Their sound fit the moment: edgy and energetic with a touch of dark to it. Perfect for the halloween bash and getting me and my friends out on the dance floor."

"I feel like this would all go over better in a town like Miami or LA, it just seemed totally out of place here at the High Dive."

"First off, at Salmon Bay Eagles (all ages), C-Leb and A-Bro, started things off with very stirring techno-rock/pop - entertaining as hell. Caleb has an awesome voice and really plays a mean harmonica, but Connie’s (Bee Simonds) voice really blew me away."
JanKeira Knox (The Jet City Redhead) on REVERBfest
"They have a really great uptempo retro electronica sound -- maybe Beck meets early Depeche Mode -- but there's no way you are pinning them down that easily."

"Electro-beat swooner turned Seattle Subsonic blogger C-Leb (that’s called ‘full disclosure’) has teamed up with his pal A-Bro in crafting Broke Downtown, a dj-inspired, mid-tempo dance record with slick beats, funky jabs, sly vocals, and soaring back-up pipes (courtesy of local singer/songwriter Bee Simonds, also on this bill). Add in some new-wave synth, house bass and scratchy guitar, and it might just latch on to your spongey little brain. Think of a happier Depeche Mode or a funkier Pet Shop Boys joining forces with contemporary spacegazers Starfucker and the Postal Service.
