Leopold

Seven days on the road makes one weak!

About Me

Somewhere between rock, metal, funk and country you will find Leopold relaxing with a bottle of 50 and a smile.
In early 2006 the Leopold machine was set in motion, rehearsing, writing and searching for an identity. By the end of August Leopold was found. Taking their name from several sources Leopold became a melting pot of what their name stands for. Jabs at everyday life and pokes at the finer points of human nature are at the heart of every Leopold song. Lyrics and music that while coming from the heart don't scream for help moreover they intend to shed light on the quirks and curves we live with.
Band members Marty Kerslake, Gen Cassista and Chuck Flynn are taking this show on the road and have already been playing shows in their hometown of Peterborough On. Playing venues such as the Legendary Red Dog, the Underdog, the Spill and the inaugural Valley Music Festival gaining accolades for their live show and unique songs.
In October 2006 Leopold set out on a venture to record their first EP which is slated to come out spring of 2007. As well shortly after this the band will embark on a small Ontario tour which will take them from Peterbrough right on to the end of the 401 in Sarnia. Keep your eyes open the Leopold machine may roll into a town near you.
