THE LEATHERS at Sneaky Dee’s. Fri Jun 18. myspace.com/theleathers Rating: NNNN
The Leathers worked the Sneaky Dee’s crowd into a lather Friday night.
More blowout than show, the Montreal-based hip-hop duo of Atherton and P Brain — clad in leather vests and jackets despite the Sneaky Dee’s swelter — rocked with a loose energy that went over very well with the preternaturally good-looking crowd.
Jokes about getting drunk at 14 on stolen Beaujolais, choreographed dance slides, and rogue DJ Clue references held together a slew of thumping tracks from the group’s self-titled debut. FYI, they also did a shit-hot rap version of Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire.[rssbreak]
