Hailing from Minneapolis, Leisure Birds sound like a lost artifact of the first psychedelic era; the British Invasion meeting swamp boogie along the muddy banks of the Mississippi. Born out of the demise of two of Minneapolis' cherished rock institutions — syncopated whiskey-throat... Read more about Leisure Birds on Last.fm.
