  • Chris and Jason Accoustic July 10th @ The Viking

    It was a beautiful evening in the Euclid corridor.  Seich and I set up in the Corner of The Viking.  Guitar, voice, one conga, snare, hi-hat, and various noisemakers.  The evening started slow but as the sun went down, the freaks came out.  A glorious cacophony of family, friends, booze and song.  In between two tone beers, Twon sat in for an impromptu League set which included, "Blocked by Nance, Because You Love Me, Barley Wine, Drink Like and Drunk, and the stupidest rendition of "Cows" yet. We played for 4 hours. At the end of the show a man threw one dollar bills at my feet until I played "Gimme Some Water" by Eddie Money. After that I became toast.

  • The League @ Cleats Gateway


    This past Friday we played a show at Cleats Gateway.  Cleats is located at the crossroads of East 2nd and High.  From the front window you can see Lebron's outstretched left arm on the giant witness banner downtown.  When I told people we were playing at Cleats, many had the same reaction.  "That's a sports bar" Normally it is.  But this Cleats is different.  The owners and the staff were really good to us.  They explained that they're transitioning into a live music bar.  Which is something we desperately need in Downtown Cleveland. 
    We played for 4 and a half hours, to a small but raucus crowd.  We did alot of improv.  And as is usually the case with improvising, there's some hits and and some missed.  On this night, the hits outnumbered the missed considerably.  We even previewed a new song we're working on tentatively titled "Dick Move"  After the show, Piss up a rope by Ween came on the jukebox and I drunkenly hollared.

  • Forming the Band

    Though it is true The League went to The University of Akron, they did not form at The University. The group started back in the early part of 2007 by lead man Chris Hatton. Long time friend and former band mate from The Akron Potato Guns, Anthony Place, was asked to start a new band. Thus starting The League of Proper Musicians. Mike Reyes was the next step in the formation. After sitting in on a gig for Chris and Anthony, he then became the mainstay drummer. Seich, the percussion guy, was called in to fulfill the need of a couple of Latin songs being played. The sound was very interesting. The League now had there foundation. There was also a couple of keyboardists in that mix but The League Management didn't want to go back up and put that in. With the fusion of Funk, Rock, Latin, and Prog, The League's sound could be described as others but none that has been heard in a very long time. A band that puts good performance of music ahead of most bands these days, the original League experience is a sight to see and hear. Go here www.theleagueofpropermusicians.com
    That's how our band started, How about yours?
