Leatherbag


Leatherbag are a great little band from Austin, Texas. For some reason The Modern Lovers comes to mind. Listen to No Future and tell me i'm crazy. It's just the vibe.

Leatherbag is an American rock band from Austin, Texas. After relocating to Austin from Houston in 2005 as a Hurricane Rita refugee, Leatherbag was formed by singer/songwriter, Randy Reynolds. Leatherbag has supported such acts as Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3, Chuck Prophet, David Dondero, The Radar Brothers, Little Joy, Brendan Benson, Richard Buckner, Alejandro Escovedo, Heartless Bastards and many others.
