Les Georges Leningrad was an experimental and punk rock ensemble originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The group gained recognition for their elaborate stage attire, notably their use of masks, and were known to provide interviews filled with paradoxical or absurd statements. Readers of the weekly Montreal Mirror twice honored them as the "most eccentric local act."
History
Established in Montreal in 1999, Les Georges Leningrad featured members who alternated roles among bass, keyboard, guitar, drums, and vocals, occasionally incorporating a drum machine into their performances. The band started as a four-piece but transitioned into a trio following the departure of bassist Toundra LaLouve after their debut album. Their discography includes multiple releases such as Sur les Traces de Black Eskimo (2004).
In 2007, they crafted the musical score for Asparagus: A Horticultural Ballet, which was showcased at Conway Hall in London. Although they announced their dissolution through MySpace in early 2007, the group suggested the possibility of future reunions or performances.
