"The NYC based band has a sound that can only be described as original and guitar driven, since the sheer variety of styles utilized is mind-boggling. Think Blondie meets Clapton, Joan Jett meets Allman Brothers or even Spiderman meets Santana." Sarah Willard, Event Magazine 9/24/08

Biography

It's difficult to "define" the band's genre - "Lead Pipe Cinch". In fact LPC members have even described themselves at times as originators of a new musical genre: spaghetti/spunk/salsa, due to the ska/punk, Latin and spaghetti-western influences evidenced in their tunes. Their new self titled CD was recorded and produced by Lenny Post at Hickory St. Studio in Blauvelt, N.Y.

One editor's description follows:
"The NYC-based band has a sound that can only be described as original and guitar driven, since the sheer variety of styles utilized is mind-boggling. Think Blondie meets Clapton, Joan Jett meets Allman Brothers or even Spiderman meets Santana. "SARAH WILLARD, EVENT MAGAZINE (SEPT. 24, 2008)

The founding members of Lead Pipe Cinch actually met through Lenny Post @ Hickory St. Studio in Blauvelt, NY. during a recording session. Deborah Trabolsi, the lead singer/songwriter and bassist met Frank Severino, the talented lead guitarist singer/songwriter during a recording session for the band "Sidetrax". Deborah has a Master's degree in Music Therapy from NYU and is a true veteran to this business, opening for bands in NY and touring for acts in US & Canada such as U2, Iggy Pop, Billy Idol, Gang of 4, English Beat & the list goes on... Her influences are mainly alternative, punk, pop (with a little Joni Mitchell thrown in) ... that is until she switched from keyboads and guitar 4 years ago, began playing bass and teamed up with Frank, a veteran blues player whose whose interesting lines and signature sound definitely keep things moving! 

Frank began writing and playing in both original and cover bands at an early age. Frank played professionally from an early age, performing and recording his own material while working as a session musician with Lenny and several well known artists in the NY, Tri-City area.  He began with a love for classical guitar and flamenco and carried over those fundamental techniques into a mix of blues, classic and southern rock. His "fat" guitar sound highlights a "blues" Southern/Classic Rock appeal with a sound comparison to Clapton, Marshall Tucker and Santana!

With 2 singer/songwriters, both of unique and varying sounds it was diifcult to find a drummer who could "fit the bill"! It was surprizing to find a young drummer, Peter Severino who could play so many different styles with real precision and conviction. Peter is a serious musician (he also plays guitar, is studying music theory and taking lessons from a Berkeley Professor) and has performed and had already been signed to several indie labels in the Northeast area.

The 3 musicians began collaborating and writing songs for TV/Film destinations that included a mix of many genres. Together they formed "LEAD PIPE CINCH!"

Their song "Johnny Delgado" was recently chosen from a contest of thousands to be published and placed on a nationally released CD compilation through Spacedog & Top Cow Productions. The comic novel and CD soundtrack "Johnny Delgado is Dead" written by John Leekley, Michael Olmos and Roger Minchoff, (The Covenant, Spawn, Splinter) are being showcased at NY and San Diego Comic Conventions.

The novel and CD will be available in Barnes & Nobles and other major Dept. stores throughout the US and is available at www.johnnydelgadoisdead.com, and www.spacedogentertainment.com.
