Leiana Tour Dates Announced Female-Fronted Skate Punk / Alternative Band

Philadelphia (Leiana Official Website) -- Philadelphia-based band "Leiana" will be playing East Coast and Midwest dates to preview material from their upcoming 3rd full-length release, following the success of their debut album "Page".

The female-fronted, Philadelphia-based band of seasoned musicians has a rapidly growing fan base in the hardcore and skatepunk worlds. With two self-produced and self-released studio albums and a third on the way, as well as stateside and overseas touring under their belts, Leiana are proof that talent, inspiration, and hard work are still the most important things you need to make good music. Singer Leiana and multi-instrumentalist Chuck Treece form the foundation of Leiana. A former pro skater and prolific musician, Chuck has been a driving force in skate rock for over 20 years. He's also a founding member of punk legends McRad, and a well-respected tour and session player whose resume includes such diverse acts as The Roots, Bad Brains, Urge Overkill, G.Love, and Billy Joel.

The band has toured the U.S. extensively and also did a UK Tour in fall of 2005, which included a sold out show with Seattle indie rockers Minus the Bear. They've also played such festivals as the Boston-area LocoBazooka, and headlined at South by Southwest in Austin. The touring line-up of Leiana varies, but includes Chuck on drums and Dave Woodman (Peter's Cathedral, Idle Wilds, Black Beans, and AM60) on bass for East Coast dates. For the West coast version of Leiana, Chuck switches to guitar, Roy Mayorga (Soulfly, Ozzy, Abloom) takes over on drums, and Eric Bootaw comes aboard on bass.
