About
With a lineup and collective personality eerily similar to Fleetwood Mac on Quaaludes, Ledaswan should only get better as it ventures on to the wider scope of a full-length album - Album review S.A Current January 2008
Ledaswan produces and records their music, which paid off: Verse of Truth, Trash and Beauty won Best Album of 2007, voted by San Antonio Current readers. Lead vocalist Erica Gutierrez won Best Singer-Songwriter. The group is rounded out by brothers Jaime and David Monzon on guitar, Jackee on bass/backup vocals and Ricky Reyes on drums. Ledaswan's music is deeply textured, with lyrics and vocals ranging from ethereal to haunting. After the awards, working on a new album and helping organize local musicians, Ledaswan's momentum builds in 2009. Just returning home from a West Coast tour, the band continues to work on new material for a full length album, due early 2010. They'll also be rocking shows regionally, and plan to tour nationally in support of the new album.
Ledaswan came together over an urgent love for the Jesus and Mary Chain's echoed-stoned "Psychocandy," the fractured bass melodies of Joy Division's "Day of Lords," the sinister charm of Mazzy Star's "Halah."
Performing their very first show when they were invited to play at Emo's in Austin, TX for Ladyfest 2004, they've played with Lydia, Girl in a Coma, Miss Derringer, Nico Vega, Veruca Salt, the Umbrellas, Susan Gibson, Jeremy Enigk, and Jim Ward of Sparta.
