Biography:

Made up of a group of musicians from diverse styles, Leaded covers the gamut from Rock to Funk, Jazz, Lounge, and more. As an instrumental ensemble, a strong rhythm section of electric bass and drums carries the music, highlighted by traversing melodies of vibraphone & electric guitar. We can serve up a delicious musical cocktail for the active listener & the casual drinker.

Press:

What is Leaded? Leaded is a kind of gas that you just can't get
anymore. And that's almost kind of true for the band "Leaded" as
well. They are a gas to watch perform. And the music they play isn't
the kind you can get just anywhere these days. It's melodic yet
unusual. Soundscape-y without being boring. Interesting even without
vocals. On paper any instrumental band with vibraphone would end up
in the "smooth jazz"/dental music category, but this is more like the
twist-y, unpredictable rocking of Zappa in his day (and did you know
his day was Thursday?). They are ambitious without being pretentious.
They are able to make fun of themselves without using
self-deprecation as a tool to obscure a lack of serious musical chops.
And they seem to actually be having a good time on-stage which
translates easily to the audience off-stage. Even those normally
don't go for "this type of music" (aka music that requires some
thought on the listener's behalf) can enjoy the spectacle. This is
not easy listening music - but it isn't difficult either. So everyone
should have cup of Leaded.
