| 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. |
