Feeding Leroy @ The Red Herring Lounge 2/18/16

Posted in Music

The downside of writing about music for fun is that you don’t get paid any money. The upside is that you can get as drunk as you want at a show and you probably won’t get fired. Plus, it’s Empty Bottle Evenings. It’s kind of the point. Our Drunk Guy Recaps are not just a stroke of genius marketing. You’re getting the real deal. Which is not much of a deal, I grant you that. And this particular recap is really too close to mailing it in entirely. But it will be short and there’s a good band at the heart of this so just keep reading for a little bit and humor me.

Thursday night in Duluth I had a few drinks, walked down the hill to the the Red Herring Lounge, had a few more drinks and passed out on the couch after a couples spat over my drunk snoring. This is not altogether remarkable, I realize. BUT before the drinks destroyed my ability to stay awake or be aware about my snoring issues, I was having a lovely time watching Feeding Leroy. I had not heard of them until recently but I was impressed with what I heard before the show and for the mere cost of $5 plus whatever the additional liver damage is worth at this point I was excited to check them out. They are a folky Americana outfit with some really solid songs and they sure didn’t disappoint live. They have an EP titled Love is A Gamble up on their website and every song is worth listening to.

While my recollection of Thursday is admittedly spotty, and my brain is barely words-ing today I would be disappointed if I didn’t give an EBE recommends to this band. Whenever Feeding Leroy is back in my area I will go check them out and I hope more people join me. I’ll even make sure that I take it easy on the bottle and maybe I’ll have some useful praise about them to share next time.
