The Adam Leland Band 1996-1996

I recently found a CD of a band I was in in 1996, The Adam Leland Band (yes my brother Adam came up with the creative name). This is a live show from Lou's Blues on Ponce. Had to be during the Olympics. The sound is release quality and the performance is VERY solid. Adam has said that this was the most professional band he ever played with, and I may have to agree. His songs from this era are mostly forgotten - One Hit Wonder, Skeptical and Beatles or the Beach Boys became A-Sides songs, but One Last Letter, She Squeaks When She Walks, Girl in a Band, All Citizens Day were all supposed to be the songs on his debut CD that never materialized (well it DID but as a pop/folk CD in Memphis, not in the style of a 90's Alt/Pop). As much as I like his "End of Public Space" CD, I think it was a shame that we never gave this band a real chance. The music was the most accessable, the band was young and without responsibilities, and the music climate was very good for white-guy rock bands that wrote thier own songs.
