It all started years ago when Chris J'Tot was born on a farm in the Puss River Valley of Scab Utah.  His father was the proprietor of a meth-lab and enjoyed listening to bands like Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Muddy Waters and The Monkeys.  This not only influenced, but confused the young mind of the future front-man.  His older brother, Colin was in a boarding school for special children and they didn’t see each other much for several years.  Chris, a very talented artist found comfort hanging around a local tattoo shop / taco-stand when he was still very young.  He began his apprenticeship at the young age of 5, still breast-feeding as history tells it.

A couple of years later he met up with JD and Matt, both from the Puss River area as well.  They had a crew of mean kids from South Scab, shaking down other kids for their lunch money to buy smokes.  One day they approached Chris on the street.  They wanted to shake him down as well.  Chris kicked the shit out of both of them.  While he was pissing on their beaten down limp bodies, he had sudden inspiration.  He went home and started writing lyrics.  It took him eight years to write that song.  It was called, “pissing”.  He was eighteen when he was singing that song to his pregnant girlfriend and she said, “I know a couple of guys in a band looking for a singer”.  Guess fucking what?  It was those same two guys that had inspired the song to begin with.

Colin was graduating from Waterhead that year, and he and his brother were reunited.  They hooked up with Matt and J.D. to form the band, Rodney King and the Night Stix.  They played a couple of gigs, but after a couple minor issues at a bar, they changed the name to Leadbeater.

 Leadbeater.  This “music” sucks.  I can’t believe they actually get together and practice.  I heard they send Leadbeater “music” to starving kids in Somalia to ease their hunger.  The children say they would rather starve to death than have to listen to these horrible sounds from America.

Leadbeater has become the self-proclaimed greatest rock and roll / metal kinda punk-sounding band that likes country music and writes songs about monsters and things of that sort, in the world.  In the studio now dropping some of the hottest tracks ever recorded on discount equipment and garage sale microphones.  Expect great thing from this band.  Seriously, these guys get to the heart of what rock and roll / metal kinda punk-sounding music has always been about.  If I had a music club, these freaks would be in it.

 Horrible, just absolutely horrible.  I’m ashamed.
