The Story So Far...

Uncle Leon was born in a backseat in the Arizona desert, raised up among the smokestacks and aluminum-sided jungles south of Detroit, and educated at the lunch counters and cassette racks of every truck stop in between.

For years, he crisscrossed the country, working variously as a professional ne'er-do-well, part-time lover, amateur beer taster, and freelance bathroom attendant, all the while neglecting to practice his guitar and honing his own special brand of "garage country" songwriting.

 



After a regrettable incident involving two jealous fat chicks, Leon was forced to leave the West Coast and hide out on the mean streets of Brooklyn, New York. There, he met bassist Neil "Poopsie" Magnuson, who was busy bashing a drunk asshole's head against the doorway of Hank's Saloon, and a lifelong friendship was born.

 

Soon after, they encountered the wonderful Baby Maria who, fleeing sexual slavery in her native Spanish villa, had no choice but to join the band. Her hardship, however, was short-lived. A drunken sexual encounter (and resulting pregnancy) with a very famous singer proved to be her ticket out of the dead-end band. At last report, she was opening a school for exotic dancers somewhere in Wyoming.

 

 

Meanwhile, a surly Tele-slinging roustabout named Charlie Cheddar lost a drunken wrestling match and, as punishment, was forced to play guitar with Uncle Leon indefinitely.

 

 

 

In the summer of 2006, Uncle Leon held a nationwide talent search looking for the perfect new drummer. After three months of grueling auditions, background checks, and myspace-style personality surveys, a sleek rock'n'roll diamond emerged from the paradiddling rough. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Sara, the newest Alibi. Sara made her stunning debut with Uncle Leon & the Alibis on September 9 as part of the Brooklyn Country Music Festival.
