Mother Leopard announced their hiatus earlier this fall after playing some shows in Springfield with a heavy and instrumental 3-piece line up. Now they are announcing they are back and are being joined by vocalist Kyle Rohweder formerly of Peoria harcore band Black Teeth. From the band’s facebook page:

We played an impromptu house show last week and had a ton of fun, so we decided to have a little more fun.

We are back to writing and Kyle Rohweder(ex Black Teeth/Street Cheetah) has returned. When Mother Leopard formed winter of 2010 the original contributing writers were myself, Kyle Rohweder and Brad Pigg. After becoming a barber and a father, Kyle is in a place where he wants to kick out the jams again. Brad now resides in Seattle so the new lineup is set. The Mother Leopard is now myself, Kristian Kyle Ratliff on the drums, Jordan Fein on the bass, and Kyle Rohweder as a contributing writer and frontman.

It feels good after a few months (years) off.

expect some new shit soon.

Well, I’ve been bitten by the music bug again recently and it looks like today will bring me a remedy. I’ll be Springfield bound in the next hour or so to jam with my old friend Benny DeWitt and company to see if we can finish what we started a couple of years ago. I can’t tell anyone what to expect, because we have no clue what this project will sound like, but I can assure all the punk rockers, rock ‘n rollers, indie nerds and hardcore kids that it will be entertaining and weird.
