Leafhound... The legendary cult acid prog rock&roll band from back in the day are back. Here's some short info, but you can read more on their site.

Following intense public demand, Pete French put a new version of his legendary band Leaf Hound together in the Spring of 2004. The band made their live debut in October of that year at London’s Camden Underworld as special guests to Nazareth. A string of Underworld shows followed with the likes of Mountain, Orange Goblin and Witchcraft. The band quickly established a reputation as a potent and respected live act worthy of the legendary cult status the original band had achieved. The live set features many of the classic Leaf Hound songs from the original album as well as new material that has gone down as well as, if not better, than the original material.

Highly acclaimed appearances at the Tapestry Goes West Festival in the UK and Kaktus Festival in Sweden during the summer of 2005 enhanced their reputation. A showcase performance at London’s Borderline in September brought glowing reviews in various publications including Classic Rock. The band has also made several Radio appearances on stations such as Total Rock and Resonance FM.

In October of 2005 Leaf Hound’s legendary and highly collectable original album - ‘Growers Of Mushroom’ - voted the number one most collectable rock album in Q magazine- was reissued on Repertoire Records.

Remastered and repackaged in digipac format, the reissue contains extensive brand new liner notes by Chris Welch and received highly favourable press in several publications. The reissue features a bonus track, ‘Too Many Rock’n’Roll Times’, the first new recording from the band.

A brand new single is to be released early in 2006 on Rise Above Records and the band are currently close to finishing the recording of a brand new Leaf Hound album. More live shows are currently being put together, with visits to the USA and mainland Europe looking likely.

For more info and a full band history, checkout their site - Here's some video f their new single done live at the Half-Moon in Putney - TBH, this tracks is quite straight-ahead classic R&R, and mebbe not as musicaly interesting as some of the more acid songs, but the band does it and they do it will... Peter French's voice which has graced various bands including Atomic Rooster is your classic Paul Rogers type of British rock vocal and he's on good form here... enjoy!
