Leaded

Leaded has been playing original music in Denver and Ft. Collins since spring 2011. Various members have played in numerous other projects in the area such as Spiv, Bushtic, Protosonic, Electrodelic, Blind Harvest, IZ, and more. There is only the demo recording so far but there are plans to record a full length CD later in 2013.

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.
