INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT LEK
… backpacks for months at a time through third world countries with guitar in hand
… sing and plays with the locals, hopping from train to bus from the rainforests of Peru to the Himalayas in India
… lyrics and poetry from stream of consciousness graphic imagery, musings on the reality of existence, and simple songs of smiling people met abroad
… gave up medical school to follow a guru from India in the rolling hills north of San Francisco
… taught himself to read and write Thai while wondering around the islands in the south of Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, and on the train commuting to New York
… recent album contains music from the fiery shrieks of Hendrix to the pulsating walls of shoegaze dreamland, poetic musings, pretty acoustic guitar picking, a quiet piano interlude, and real audio samples from LEK’s travels around the world
