THE LEFTOVERS - SALA MATISSE, VALENCIA (2009)


















The Leftovers formed in 2002 and road tested a sound over 350 dates and two continents that successfully combines the classic vibe of The Beatles (their favorite band) and the Beach Boys with the power pop of Elvis Costello, The Romantics and the Rubinoos, while keeping the upbeat energy of the Ramones and The Queers.

The Leftovers successful full length "Eager To Please" was produced by Linus Dotson (of Hollywood) and features Kim Shattuck (The Muffs), Brett Anderson (The Donnas), Parry Gripp (Nerf Herder), Coz Canler (The Romantics) and Jon Rubin (The Rubinoos).

The massive 2009 Fall Tour took the band from all the corners of the USA to Europe (United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany). So, Friday 6th November The Leftovers stormed Valencia (Spain) and performed a stunning 70 minutes show a la Sala Matisse.

The second leg of the USA tour (with The Queers) will start on November 27 in North Carolina.

Special note: I got the show from a spanish mate at the Alta Tension and i made a special artwork for the PPC blog.
