Biography:
Essentially the solo arm of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists; Leo has done one ep (Tell Belgury, Balegury is dead) that was originally to be a Pharmacists single. The single of the Pharmacists song was expanded to include a live solo version of the Pharmacists song "The High Party" as well as a handful of originals and covers being performed by Leo himself ala early Billy Bragg.
Leo often plays live solo and many times while the Pharmacists are on tour

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs. It's awesome. I love it. I think the lyrics
are 98% right. Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other
lines might be iffy. Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate. Not sure what he
does between the verses though. Maybe some variation of the D chord. The notes that he
picks are e, d c#, b.
