UPDATE:
The Leonards will be performing this summer at The Arts Beats and Eats Festival.   Download the Leonards one-sheet.

Formed in Los Angeles, Detroit born and raised, The Leonards are straight forward rock and roll. Which brings us back to their Detroit roots. There must be something diesel in the air or polluted in the water because bands from their neck of the woods play with a certain panache that reminds you that the Stooges and MC5 were playing punk way before '76. The Leonards image is more of an anti-image, they just want to rock.

They've played bills with: Peter Case, Redd Kross, Dramarama, Rosie Flores, Beat Farmers, Food for Feet, The Gun Club, The Rave Ups, Mary's Danish, Tommy Stinson, The Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate, Thelonious Monster, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Holsapple, Billy Bremner and countless others.

Weezer played their first gig with The Leonards. The band performed with Mars Bonfire (wrote 'Born to be Wild') on a Skyclad Records compilation. The band toured the country several times playing CBGB’s, Pittsburgh’s own The Electric Banana, Steamboat in Austin, Fitzgerald's in Houston, and The Howlin’ Wolf in New Orleans. One recording was recently featured on TV's Ugly Betty. Their photo even was featured on Ugly Betty's avacado green fridge.

Current artists The Leonards played with: Switches, Red Lightning, Groovy Rednecks, Pat Todd and The Rank Outsiders.

They have been heard on Rodney On The Roq, KROQ, KXLU, KCRW, Joe Benson, and heard nationally on college and commercial radio. Their demo of  "Truckers Song" is at 25,000 hits on Youtube and growing.
