Based in New South Wales
About this act
Thirty years on the road along the east coast has made Leeroy and the Rats one of the country's genuine touring institutions. Their blend of blues, progressive rock and R&B earned them six nominations at the 1991 Coca Cola Rock Awards, where band leader Lee Hammond took out songwriter of the year. The live shows carry the weight of a lifetime spent playing, with an energy that recalls the likes of Bo Diddley, Pink Floyd and The Doors. Book it for a crowd that came for a proper band.
