So we may not be actively booking in shows but there is a very good reason. We are grinding away in the studio to produce the next five tracks for release. We are very much about self production which allows us to put in more time than ever on our songs including potentially some bonus tracks as we did with our latest release “Walking in Circles” which released with an unplugged version. Got an idea for us to try out for an alternate style of bonus track? Let us know and we'll try it out!
Lead by Lies “It's F***ing Christmas!” Show
Tickets available here: /shows
So here it is, the "It's F***ing Christmas" Show. Be prepared for a night of live music from yours truly, Sydney Fate, Idle Minds and Faultline, but there's more... all bands will be dressed in festive fancy dressed and blessing your ears with at least one Christmas song. Could be a Christmas banger, could be a unique take of one of your most loathed cheesy Christmas tunes. There's only one way to find out.
Christmas fancy dressed encouraged but not required (might win you something if you do).
New Single(s)
So, we thought it was about time to give you all a new song. Blend a heavy rock octaved riff and a huge anthemic chorus and you get our newest track "Walking in Circles. Releasing on Friday 13th (spooky, right?) along with something else…
After all the recording was done and the song was ready to be mixed, we noticed that the chorus sounded beautiful acapella. Featuring all four of us singing the chorus, the harmonies just sounded well, perfect! this gave us the idea to strip the entire song down, get some fresh strings on an acoustic guitar and a 12 string acoustic and give the song a complete different feel.
Back-to-back, on the 13th, you'll get to hear not only the full band version of the single but it's “Unplugged” counterpart as well. With a full energy rock-fuelled track and another reminiscent of the old MTV Unplugged sets, this release truly has something for everyone.
Find “Walking in Circles” on all streaming services from 13th October!
New site, new everything, news!
So we're back, covid and various lockdowns made a right mess of the music world and the band had to deal with a lot of changes and decisions. But now we're back, new music out and at the end of the month we'll be doing our comeback show at Fuel, Cardiff. We hope to see you all there!
If you've been following our facebook/instagram you'll know that the member line-up has changed since we were last playing live. Our guitarist Joe stepped back from the band due to family commitments and is now a proud father to a little boy, everyone here at Lead by Lies is stoked for him and we wish him all the best. Corey has now joined the band as guitarist (and probably a million other jobs), he's a longtime fan, friend and sometimes kit carrier so we knew he was the right guy for the job.
There's a few other changes, but those you'll see when we hit the stage and check out our new music. Hope you like it!
