About Me

tenth leper are 5 lads from the north of england. they've known each other for years and make quirky jangly pop music for your listening pleasure. the best way to really find out where tenth leper are coming from is to catch them live where after the show you can have a good old chat with them , give them sweets and buy them beer !most of these pics were taken by www.myspace.com/gunmollstudio - cheers for that !

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/21/2005

Band Members: tenth leper are :- andy D. keys player. This man does hard sums about wierd stuff for a living. It has been said of this man " he gives this band an extra dimension". // andy L. guitars and bass in the absence of ben 12's. This guy draws bits of buildings and other stuff and gets paid for it ! If tenth leper were a ship this man is definately the keel. // matt or "errod" as he is affectionately known. drums. He sits at a computer 5 days a week and pushes buttons. Great! // jim. vocals and a bit of guitar. currently helping the partially sighted receive better eyesight using the mediums of glasses and contact lenses. Went to college with Justin Hawkins ( he of darkness fame) and let out his spare room to him.(it was while living with jim and the other housemates that justin developed his ridiculous falsetto vocal style).// ben 12's. bass. this man is on a yearlong break from the band learning how to become a teacher down in shandy drinkin London town. He's a funny man you cant help but laugh at or even with. The band miss him very much and look forward to his return sometime next year.
