REVIEWS
If You Want Some, Girl, Where Did You Go?
The Leez have been gigging locally for sometime. The new CD
sounds completely different, good boy gone bad and it's great! The first track
is reminiscent of Billy Idol and fall between the energetic pop/rock of mod
revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic. The Leez are nothing
if not rock & roll traditionalists, drawing heavily from British invasion
pop, psychedelia, soul, R&B, and blues-rock to create a reverential homage
to classic rock. Their devotion to trad rock may have earned them decidedly
mixed reviews, but should also earn them a sizeable following. Each song has
something different to say and Girl is reminiscent of a dancier version of
Astronomy Domine by Pink Floyd. Where Did You Go? is reminiscent of something
from Deep Purple's House of Blue Light. The Leez combine some of the best
elements of the 60s psychedelia and 70's rock.

Rocking The Empire
Well, what can I say, what a full blast, what a thrilling experience!
Travelling to the famous Shepherds Bush Empire that evening in December 2005,
was the best choice I had made for a long time. The Leez performed a rocking
30 minutes show with a pushing energy in every corner of the stage. The well
playing guitarist, the enthusiastic drummer and the swinging keyboard player
appealed to my feet to keep stamping the floor. And what about the lead singer?
Oh yes, Jason Lee has certainly got it! It's plain to see. His energetic performance
bending his knees and rocking the mike turned the audience straight on. His
unique voice lifted the pop rocking songs like Move On and If You Want Some
to be potential hits with the right label. And getting to the slow ones, Jason
Lee's clear voice drifted upon the tunes to go straight to the heart of everyone.
Needless to say, people screamed for more
