Hey, y’all. Shay here. On air indie. Welcome & enjoy. Episode 44 First, music history trivia for May 11th. In 1969 Led Zeppelin attended an Elvis show at the Los Angeles Forum in California. After a shaky start to the show, Elvis stopped the band and said, “Wait a minute, if we can start together fellas, because we’ve got Led Zeppelin out there, lets try to look like we know what we’re doing.” The band met with Elvis after the show, spending over 2 hours backstage. Elvis asked for all the group’s autographs for his daughter, Lisa Marie. London-based alt rock band The Great Leslie is with us today. Ollie Trevors and Jason Mark Boyd come onto the podcast to chat with me. We chat about that, how the band came together and their creative process. Their music is as unique as the band’s diverse influences. Great band you need to follow. Excellent music!

The Great Leslie – “Money”

From the band: “After the last music video, (where we had extras and costumes) we really wanted to do a simple video, and just go in the other direction.

Focusing mainly on using our performance and professional camera work to carry through the song. We worked with the same team as last time, with Julian Smith directing, and Adrian Homeshaw as our DOP. It was Julian who actually came up with the idea of just having a really simple blacked-out studio and playing around with different lighting rigs.

It was also really important that we introduce each member of the band, as it gives everyone some screen time to really shine.”
