Leslie and the Ly's

Leslie and the Ly's

Leslie & the LY's is a pop music band from Ames, Iowa that began as an open mike trio in 2004.

Leslie & the LY's is made up of front-woman Leslie Hall, also known as Mother Gem, who composes all of the music herself generally using the Apple Computer program GarageBand. Other past and present members include, DJ Dr. Laura on the turn-tables, and Klassy K on the keytar and dance, OBESE E on turn-tables, Sassy Cassie, & K To the Double L on backing vocals. Hall has since established The Mobile Museum of Gem Sweaters, which doubles both as the band's official tour vehicle and gift shop/museum, which sometimes appears at her shows. She has been featured in "Vice" magazine, on television with VH1 and G4, and has had music videos featured on AtomFilms and Yahoo!'s main page. In 2006, Leslie was filmed as part of space150's viral campaign for "We Are the Web", a site that advocates net neutrality. Fans of the band are known as Junior Gems.

Leslie & the LY's are currently on tour in support of their third record, "ceWEBrity". To coincide with the tour they're also releasing a music video (and single) called "Zombie Killer" featuring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark on guest vocals, with cameos by Mark Borchardt & Mike Schank of "American Movie" fame.
