Leopold and his Fiction brings their cohesive blend of Detroit garage-rock ‘n’ roll, Grass Valley folk and Western darkness to The Lager House on Wednesday, April 7th. Led by Daniel James, a born and bred Detroiter, the band will offer an exclusive unreleased tour single of “Golden Friends” from the upcoming Thom Monahan (Devendra Banhart, Little Joy, Vetiver) produced album at all the shows beginning at SXSW.
Returning to the studio to record their third album, Leopold and his Fiction encountered a number of firsts including the first recording with new line up of Daniel James (Vocals/Guitar), Micayla Grace (Bass Guitar/Vocals) and Jon Sortland (Drums/Vocals/Organ), working with producer Thom Monahan and the studio experience at The Hanger in Sacramento. For a sneak peak of the new album, go to Front Porch Musings (http://www.frontporchmusings.com/2009/11/leopold-and-his-fiction-big-ol-tour.html) and watch them perform “Virginia” live at The Independent.
Climbing to #30 on the CMJ charts for Ain’t No Surprise and making it into the top 20 with their self-titled debut, Leopold and his Fiction have earned praise from NPR, Relix and Big Takeover, among others. With live shows that prove to be as visually pleasing as they are audibly, SF Weekly states, “The local three-piece has more energy and soul on stage than I've seen in a long time…Lead singer Daniel James has a soulful, powerful voice that keeps your attention…He forced the crowd to come closer to the stage at the beginning of the set, and by the end he had half the room dancing.”
