ABOUT
The Leisure Bandits are a soul band known for their high-energy live performances and super catchy original tunes. With rich harmonies and raw grooves, they have found the perfect balance between mass-appeal and musical credibility. They play music that everyone can relate to while maintaining a strong individual identity.
The Leisure Bandits have a consistent dedication to writing and performing new songs, the boys have developed a sound that is deeply rooted in the tradition of old school Soul and Funk, while also having elements of contemporary R'n'B, Reggae and Hip Hop. Lead singer Joey G lives a life that is a story in itself. This gives him endless writing material, often arriving to a session with a new track inspired by the previous evening's events written on a beer coaster.
With a performance style likened to such legends as Prince or a modern day James Brown, Joey is a natural performer with boundless energy and a captivating onstage presence.
Joey's twin brother, back up vocalist and lead guitarist Pukz, offers the other voice of this outfit. With a sound that's smooth and soulful he creates beautiful harmonies that complement his brother's lead perfectly. Being twins with a lifetime of jamming together these brothers have something we like to call "Twintuition" or "Twinstinct", each can musically read the others mind.
