bio.

the duo met at a party in october 2004, where nelson just happened to be playing a guitar and leighann just happened to start singing along. it's always been a lifelong dream of leighann's to be in a band, while nelson feels that he's finally found the missing link in the music that he's always wished to create.

since then, the two have been writing and recording music. their debut effort is scheduled for release some time this year.




i’m leighann… i sing… i’m very tall… and i’m from west virginia… i have all my teeth… and i love wearing shoes… i’ve always been a writer, and i’m in love with music… so it seems very appropriate that i would choose to do this with my free time… i’m silly… i’m a nerd… and i love cartoons… i think that people should read more often… i think that we don’t appreciate this world as much as we should… and i think that dr. pepper is much better than coke or pepsi… randomness is beautiful... listen to us… i think you will like us… and if you listen… maybe we will be able to quit our day jobs and do this full-time… e-mail me… it will make my day… this was much harder to write than it should have been… go mountaineers…

stuff i like:
- books (anything by king, salinger, conroy, vonnegut, harris, camus, rowling)
- movies (american beauty, donnie darko, the rules of attraction, garden state, napoleon dynamite, rear window, silence of the lambs…anything gory and scary)
- food (mexican…and breakfast from IHOP)
- the simpson’s and looney toons
- nick and jessica, the real world, and those stupid real world/road rules challenge shows
