Speakeasy presents…
Leopardo, Mother’s Milk, Nag
8pm / $15 / 21+
Leopardo started as a solo project with debut album « Di Caprio » in 2018. It then became a band, with musicians from the underground music scene in Fribourg and Ticino, Switzerland. Together, they released “Malcantone” in 2021, released on Feel It Records which enabled the band to tour the USA, including Gonerfest.
Although the project started with optimistic and romantic love songs (which they sometimes still write), time came for the band to explore other aspects of life and love, mostly on the bad sides. Drawing inspiration from the pessimistic school of philosophers and paying tribute to Robert Walser and his love for unhappiness and nature, this new atmosphere naturally impacted Leopardo's music, adding to the "Velvet Underground-kinda-sound” a dissonant country/post-punk crooner aesthetic, sprinkled with nonchalance.
