Uncle Leon and the Alibis played everywhere from outlaw biker gatherings to a premiere party for Walk the Line, but they always did their best work in the seedy dive bars of Brooklyn, New York, where they have been known to rile drunken crowds, mend broken hearts, incite people to quit their jobs, perform the occasional spontaneous faith-healing, and otherwise stir shit up. The band developed a rabid and dedicated cult following, comprised almost entirely of voluptuous women of questionable repute.
In the past year or so, Uncle Leon and the Alibis have achieved a certain infamy among the numerous female Roller Derby leagues of the world, thanks to their accidental smash-hit single, “Roller Derby Saved My Soul”.
Fueled by wits, whiskey, and a whole lot of Derby love, the band made its first (and only) tour of Middle America in June of 2007. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. Y'all know who you are.
UPDATE! After a year-long hiatus, Uncle Leon has been dragged, bloated and bleary-eyed, out of retirement! The obviously deranged Scotsmen over at The Bluesbunny have decided they just can't get enough, and will be releasing a special vinyl-only version of Uncle Leon songs in the U.K. Check back for more details!
