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
