Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys play country & western the way the Clash or the Ramones might have if they'd grown up on Waylon Jennings instead of the New York Dolls. Fronted by singer/guitarist Lenny Lashley (Darkbuster), and rounded out by upright bassist Jon Johnson (Bourbonaires), guitarist/steel guitarist Chris DeBarge (Curses/Speed Devils/Stumbleweeds), and drummer Tommy Long (Dogmatics), the band recorded their eponymous debut album during the summer of 2004 at Basement 247 Studios in Allston. Produced by Chris DeBarge and engineered by Basement 247's Jack Younger, "Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys" features ten bourbon-soaked originals - including "Cambridgeport Saloon", "Lonely Days and Whiskey Nights", and "Two Robbers" - as well as a cover of the classic late '70s Lowenbrau beer theme, "Here's to Good Friends". Since 2002 Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys have built a devoted following among both country and punk audiences throughout New England. Finally, with the release of "Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys", here's your opportunity to find out why. So pour yourself a shot or four of Jim Beam at 2am, light up a smoke, put on "Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys", and think about lost opportunities and broken hearts. That's country music, that's punk rock, and that's Lenny and the Piss Poor Boys.

In an old mill town, they closed the factory down; but mom and dad won't split up, cause I'm a fighter. Greetings from Bastrop, LA. and goodbye, This town now ceases to exist. International Paper shut its doors, the governor and the union could do nothing. Know that you guys were loved here, L&PPB will probably be played a little louder around town.
