On the verge of releasing their highly anticipated sophomore album Lotus Skies, Leader Cheetah will visit Canberra during their Lotus Skies headline tour, joined by Belles Will Ring.

Showcasing new music from Lotus Skies for the first time, Leader Cheetah have just emerged from the acclaim following their sold-out national tour supporting The Middle East throughout June.

As with most bands that are built to last, Leader Cheetah don’t sound like anyone else as much as themselves. No one can say for sure what accidents of history, genes and personality creates an original sound in a band, but Leader Cheetah have it. The result is an album like Lotus Skies, music with wide-open spaces and long horizons and with real emotional force.

Leader Cheetah play at Transit Bar on Thursday 22nd September 2011 from 8pm. Tickets $18.40 from www.moshtix.com.au.
