About Me

Releasing material since 1991, J. Lebang has shown the determination and talent to be one of the most hard working and original solo acts from the Motor City since the 70’s.Lebang shows his confidence and smarts in every aspect of his music. Says Lebang: “…from writing, performing and producing, I show versatility. I’m an all around artist.”This talent is easily recognizable on his many releases. From the 70’s sounding rock album “The Writ” to the Alternative psychedelic rock of “Save The Roaches”, Lebang instantly creates a feeling of accessibility, showmanship and versatility.Lyrically, people have likened Lebang’s style to that of the late Jim Morrison, although his influences range from AC/DC to the Beatles.Radio has not been shy to Lebang either, on heavy rotation with each one of his releases. Songs like SAVE THE ROACHES and SEPTEMBER 15TH outplayed such heavy hitters as Metallica, Guns ‘N’ Roses and Alice In Chains on many college radio stations.This all goes to show that J. Lebang is not shy of success-in fact; it is clearly his willing destiny.J. Lebang has toured across America several times playing in citys like Seattle, Detroit, Las Vegas and Toledo.To date he has released 6 CD's The Writ (2004), The Decade of Oblivion (2000), Save The Roaches (1995), The Future is Bliss (1993), Things That You Dread (1993), Sneaking Peeks (1991).and has been on many compilation CD's Bands Together (1998) on Bear Dog Music, Jam Rags 1999 Family Album (1999) on Jam Rag Records, Jam Rags 1998 Family Album (1998) on Jam Rag Records.He has performed with such artist as Lynch Mob, Blue Oyster Cult, Seduce, Halloween, Grinder.And Produced such acts as Paul Ishimitsu, Trigger Happy, The Friendly neighborhood perverts, Visitor III, Broke.Get your J.
