Fool was directed by Grand Cheval aka Tom Furniss and Tim Armstrong and is one of the strangest video’s The Leers have created and that's saying something… we won’t spoil anything but there is fondue involved.
THE LEERS Announce Debut album Are You Curious? and National Tour March 4th 2016
Music Video: I Can’t Cope. Dir by Thunderlips
New Video Fool due for release Week of March 7th 2016
In 2015 The Leers went into Red Bull Studios to create their debut album.
Engineered by Ben Lawson and produced by Sven Petterson of The Checks and Racing fame,Are You Curious? is the debut album from The Leers and showcases their tight sound and has been described as “an alt-junkies wet dream”. The debut single from the album, Come With Us was a student radio hit and saw the band create their first NZ On Air funded music video with the god-like directorial force known as Thunderlips. The NZVMA nominated director used this as an opportunity to create a satirical take on indie/alternative music videos to hilarious result.
THE LEERS - a four piece alt/indie/pop band from The Mount who relocated to Auckland in 2010 to pursue their collective dream of being musicians. Their debut self-titled EP was released in 2011 and featured the hit single Shame, Shame, Shame which stayed in the bFM Top 10 for over five weeks (spending two of those at #1).
Their first New Zealand Tour was in 2012 with Glass Owls and The Blind Venetians and saw them perform to sold out crowds in Auckland, Wellington and The Mount.
Following this, their second EP entitled Pockets Was recorded in their make-shift practice space over a weekend with recording genius James Dansey from The Sneaks. That EP spawned the single Come With Us which led to the band teaming up with Tom Furniss to create a hilariously bizarre cult themed video. The band followed Pockets with a double a-side single release recorded directly to tape at York Street Studios. That session was one of the last done there and was paired with two videos created by award nominated director Eddy Fiffield.
The Leers have honed their live show to perfection and have had the opportunity to support such acts as The Jesus Jones, Mini Mansions (featuring Mikey Shoes from Queens Of The Stone Age) and Australian guitar god Harts.
The band are: Matt Bidois (Vocals / Guitar), James Kippenberger (Guitar), Jack Furniss (Drums), Jacob Buchan (Bass / BV).
Make sure not to miss them on their first full national tour!
