Leader Cheetah

Overview

Oxymorons are great. Wouldn't you automatically be a leader if you were a cheetah? Well, unless you were part of a pack of cheetahs and had won a race? Redundant band names aside, Adelaide's chief export Leader Cheetah are back in Brisbane after a short rest following their second Splendour in the Grass gig.

They sound a little bit indie, a little bit Americana, and a little bit country. If you haven't heard them, you may have heard their stunning rendition of REM's Losing My Religion on Triple J's Like A Version back in July. Their sophomore album Lotus Skies has been a long time coming, and the Radelaide foursome are completely ready to show it off to keen audiences. They are joined by Belles Will Ring, who will also be playing off their second LP, Crystal Theatre, and according to Rolling Stone, are a band to watch.

Best be stretching those legs and race down to Alhambra Lounge this Friday - you'll feel cheetah'd if you don't.
