Here’s a local band that doesn’t sound local, just like our Olympics team and radio DJs. Jamie, the lead singer, is constantly pacing the front of the stage and swinging his microphone wire with every turn. In particularly excited moments, he snatches up the wire and throws it on the floor emphatically. A move swing is familiar with, yes swing? Well, if you’re not doing rock, you can certainly pop it out.“Mr and Mrs” is the catchiest, or it could be because I’m biased towards strong bass lines. Baybeats is always a sweet affair for bands that start out, and for young well-dressed folk looking for night festival fun. Ah, to be seventeen and awed by everything again.(Merry Man)
I finally get the big fuss about 'discovering' an indie band. euphoric! (Sound asleep2)
Leeson needs to be savored up close and in your face, where the jaunty melodic mayhem of their catchy material can wash over your entire being and you’re in a position to see the glint in Jamie’s eyes as he delivers those witty musings on neurotic romance and to appreciate the kinetic energy and tight co-ordination of Gerald, Brian, Mark and Thomas.
