Those of you who were at Black Sheep Fest 2013 towards the middle of the fest may have seen the chaotic and extremely fun set of Mother Leopard. The band usually plays as a three-piece instrumental project, but at the fest things took an unexpected turn with members of the crowd scrambling to take part in doing vocals for different songs. Since the fest the band posted this from their newly created tumblr page:

Hello everyone! Mother Leopard has a Tumblr now! We just played Blacksheep Fest 2013 and it was absolutely amazing. It was inspiring to see so many people share the microphone during our set…totally unexpected. We all feel like a lot of people left their burdens on the stage that night and we hope to continue our journey towards claiming your souls at the next show! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as we did. We have been a 3 piece instrumental band for a while now, with the recent addition of myself (Jess!) on bass…but BXS fest inspired us to take on a fourth member! Her name is Aubrey and she will be coming with us to Champaign, IL on Wednesday 7/31 for our first show with an official vocalist! (kind of?)

If you haven’t listened to our shit yet you can find it at http://motherleopard.bandcamp.com/

We have plans to record soon with our new lineup and with new songs. Keep in touch! Ask us questions! Message us on facebook or book us in your town jknight@capitolradiogroup.com

Love Always, Jess

The show on July 31st at Error Records in Champaign already took place and Mother Leopard played with new vocalist Aubrey. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for any new Mother Leopard shows in Springfield this late summer/fall. We plan on keeping you all updated on Mother Leopard’s plans to record and anything else going on with the band.
