Are you starting to get bored of all the predictable, and often manufactured, pap that defines much of today's radio play? Is Florence a bit depressing and are Scouting For Girls samey?
Would you like to hear something unexpected yet joyous, edgy but catchy - something that is strongly original, refreshingly varied and totally new? Would you like to discover a new band that have been described as the missing link between Buzzcocks and Talking Heads?
If the answer to these questions is 'Yes', further explore the band who's website you have very kindly taken the time to visit: LEIKA
LEIKA are a London-based band that were originally formed in 2006. They have built up an ever-flourishing and loyal fan base thanks to their ability to blow crowds away with their blistering live performances and killer tunes.
Some of the songs you are listening to are from their debut album 'Space on Tuesday', which showcases the attention-snatching sound that the band has arrived at from hard work and sheer bloody-mindedness. Strictly limited edition vinyl-CD copies of the album are currently available in London's coolest record shops (try looking around Soho or Camden) and precede national release on iTunes, Amazon et cetera. The recordings on this album were made at Plug Studios, Reading, by Russ Alsop who is ginger.
Leika continue to challenge the very best of indie rock and in doing so gain attention from scrapes, furtive associations, gentle nudges, and sometimes straightforward flattery from the likes of The Doves, Tim Burgess, Spencer Davis, and - weirdest of all- Bon Jovi.
The best way to appreciate Leika is to see the band in the flesh, where their post-punk energy will simply blow you away! Check out the gig listings and find out for yourself!
Leika are:
Brian O'Connell - Drums, Percussion
Jonathan Mann - Lead Guitar, Vocals, Keys
Roberto Pinagli – Bass Guitar
Keith Perry - Sax
Romano Giorgi - Lead Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Keys
