The New Ledge Band

ITS SPELT EFF EYE EL!!

About Me

Well it all started about five years ago in a sleepy little Chicago suburb called Algonquin. Mike and Rusty were playing in a band and needed a new drummer when suddenly, the fabric of space/time itself started to tear and out of nothing but raw ether, this form coalesced and turned into what you now know as Ryan. It was pretty strange to say the least but he turned out to be a pretty good drummer so he was allowed to stay. Ever since they have been doing their darndest to write music that is fun. Lately, the band has been seen expanding and contracting in public, as necessity dictates, to include singers/dancers, horn players, keyboards, additional instruments of a percussive nature and yes, even more katars. The New Ledge Band has recently been sighted at several Carbondale bars, pubs, saloons, taverns, speakeasies, watering holes and burlesque houses of ill repute. If you see these people be prepared to be elated, confused, angry, drunk, surprised, pulled in and taken aback all at the same time. In other words, it’ll be FUN! And don’t forget your surfboard!
