Here's something you might be interested in.
"All Leather is no longer a band. No last show, no reunions, no final record," decrees Nathan Joyner, guitarist of the now disbanded All Leather.
With drummer Jung Sing living in Mexicali, and synthesizer player Eric Livingstone living between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the logistics of simply being in the same room in order to write and rehearse became a financial burden.
"There's no bad blood between anybody," says Joyner during our phone conversation. "We did have a whole albums worth of material, we just decided not to record it. Its a waste of time and money to not tour on it, or play a show with it."
"We just decided to move on with other projects, 'cause everybody has something else going on."
The production collaboration known as Leg Lifters, which consists of Joyner and All Leather's vocalist Justin Pearson, recently finished a remix of a band named Warsaw Wasraw, to be released as a 7" on Pearson's label, 31G. Pearson also sings for Retox who are about to go on a west coast tour beginning at The Casbah Feb 16th, Sing plays drums in Maniqui Lazer, and Joyner plays drums in Hot Nerds. Joyner's other production/DJ duo, Ese' & Zain, recently solidified a bimonthly residency in Mexico, playing Yourevolution Bar in Tijuana Feb. 25th. Pearson will be doing some vocals on an upcoming Ese' & Zain production.
