When adorable drummer Ross, huband of blogger at last week’s Bleet Up, started telling me about his band The Lennings and how they have this great new EP, Geographic Tongue, I gave him my familiar line: “sounds cool, but I don’t really cover music unless it’s got another angle to it, or I think it’s really cool.” I asked him what was cool and different about the Lennings, and he said:
- We’ve been on the scene for about three years and are now looking to the blog community to help connect us with new listeners.
- Here’s a video link that has gotten a really positive response on the radio recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBh7_OJsuQo
- And here’s our myspace link; www.myspace.com/heynicevest
- The story of our coming to be a band is not too wild. All five of us are teachers and basically met through that industry rather than the music scene.
- You might also like to know that we’re currently working as Kacy Crowley’s backing band (www.myspace.com/kacycrowley).
- That’s all I can think of for now.
An Electroacoustic / Rock / Folk band made up of teachers? Um, yes, that’s interesting. Interesting enough that it’s worth checking out their video premiere & show at Moose Lodge tonight, starting at 8pm. Directions: http://www.austinmooselodge.org/directions.html
