The League of Proper Musicians

About Me

The League of Proper Musicians does not have an image, they are not aspiring rock stars, they do not style their hair or paint their finger nails, they do not adhere to the tired and outdated "sex drugs and rock and roll" paradigm. The League of Proper Musicians did not learn poses and stage moves from MTV. They play music. They play funky music with big giant balls. They play music that makes people stop and listen, then hearken back to the days when musicians had to play well to make an album or get a gig, when it was a good thing not to sound like other bands. That originality can be heard in the two albums produced by The League in 2008. They're self-titled album brings together humor and groove in songs like "The Divine Bovine Conquest" and "Onion Loaf Shirt" while showing progressive meter bending chops and prowess in "Devils Meat." The League's second and latest album, Mini Sharks, saw lineup changes that built and expanded upon their already eclectic sound. Mini Sharks takes the listener on a musical odyssey that makes frequent stops in the lands of funk with "Stand Bye", "Vaginamight", Latin fusion "Guermo y Jave", and the progressive rock ode to Cleveland Cavalier great Larry Nance in "Blocked by Nance." It all comes together to create, as one fan put it, "That community dance vibe." That vibe can be best witnessed in their honest, soulful live show that often culminates with a sweaty crowd cavorting in obscene ways. Their performances will inspire, titillate and/or disgust even the most novice or cultured musical fan. It is a spectacle not likely to be replicated by other mortal bands anytime soon. Listen to them; see them; try to be them, try to be with them. You will not be disappointed.
