Version 1.0
Formed after a chance encounter backstage at a Frank Sinatra concert in Monte Carlo, The Leftovers are the remaining living members of the original Rat Pack. They also serve a mean piece of pie.
Version 2.0
The Leftovers are Chad Clay and Dave Richards. Chad Clay formerly played in the Little Rock, Arkansas area as both a solo artist and in the band VKF. Dave Richards is a veteran of the Philly/Trenton/New York area music scene.
The Leftovers draw from a variety of songs by their influences, a large catalog of original songs, and some unique interpretations of "mainstream" hits (listen to their cover of "...Baby One More Time" for an example).
So we the music gods were thinking that the Leftovers may be good enough to call them The Main Course but after further deliberation we have decided to demote you to The Doggy Bags
