"much of the magic stems from frontman paul vickers, a
lovable gonk/da vinci of lyrical invention"
mojo magazine.
And The Leg:
The Leg is the latest project showcasing the song
writing talents of chameleon fire breed Dan Mutch.
Previous umbrella organizations for Dan's talents have
included 'Khaya' and 'Desc'.
The accolades of The Leg/Desc/Khaya include being
championed by Steve Lamacq, John Peel and Jo Whiley.
Recording two sessions for John Peel and playing live
on Radio Scotland and bbc tv.
the band khaya produced three highly acclaimed albums
and in more recent times desc recorded an album with
Steve Albini the world famous producer behind seminal
recordings by Nirvana, The Pixies and P.J Harvey.
dans trusted shipmate and fellow Legite cellist Pete
Harvey is the only true survivor apart from Dan to
feature in all three bands. Pete is a classically
trained cellist and at a moment’s notice can perform
anything from "the marriage of Figaro" to "West Side
Story" in fact that’s exactly what he does as part of
the Rose Street Quartet. Pete has also worked with the
legendary Damo Suzuki, lyricist with German pioneers
Can.Pete recently finished working with jonathan
mills on a rewrite of his opera "the eternity man" for
a film version directed by julian temple.
He is proud of the fact he once played carols at john peels christmas party.
The third member of the leg is the hard working
percussionist / drummer Alun Thomas, a local character
and true one off in every sense of the word. Alun has
also played with 'thomas truax', 'Ballboy', ‘Desc’ and
'Saint Judes Infirmary'. Together they are an exotic
some would say almost tropical mix.
They have toured Holland, Germany and America. Their
live show involves sparklers, skeleton make up and a
shrunken Tina Turner voodoo doll. They received high
praise in the press from N.M.E, Q Magazine and the
Scotsman to name a few. Much like Paul Vickers they’re
true veterans and they always deliver the goods.
What the press say about the leg:
“Sonic alchemists with pop magic dancing from their
fingertipsâ€
