About Me

Leathur Cheetah is a female-fronted 4-piece rock ensemble straight out of Chicago. Their unique style is reminiscent of 70's rock and a touch of dirty funk. The music pulsates with guitar riffs, thumping bass lines, and the singing of their powerful and soulful front-woman, Anna.Leathur Cheetah prides themselves on inducing their audience into a manic frenzy, quaking in their boots and shaking their hips. Their live show is a funked-out, soulful, hard rocking presentation of true musicianship and showmanship.With a song from their current EP 'Born Ready' being featured in an upcoming independent horror film, and the recent airplay of this entire record on Columbia College of Chicago's station (WCRX 88.1FM), Leathur Cheetah is gaining speed and on the rise. Stay tuned as Leathur Cheetah makes plans for a full length LP release and a Midwest tour!{Email for booking at [email protected]}
