So me and Gus from Battlesnake started a new band called The Leafs. It's kind of like the opposite of Battlesnake. Battlesnake play long improvised instrumental music and The Leafs play short shiny wrong pop songs, about 60 seconds long. Our shortest song is 22 seconds long.
We don't have any proper recordings but there's 2 home recorded songs here, 90 seconds worth of music in total:

I'm playing a guitar with all the strings tuned to the same note, through a 35-year-old tape echo. Gus is playing snare and floor tom, Jesus And Mary Chain style. We have 20 songs and it'll take about 25 minutes to play them all. It's all some kind of collision of Guided By Voices with Nick Drake and Phil Spector.
We're playing our first proper show this Thursday, at Bar Open. It's free! You should come, because it will be fun.
