It Ain't Black Box Theater But 22Leroy Will Do Just Fine For This Week's Review




Although we should be doing Black Box Theater NYC today, we caught the 22Leroy band in the East Village Monday night at Fontana’s Bar with Wes Shippee on keyboard/lead vocals and we just had to share the experience with you. 22Leroy self describes their genre as Rock-Pop-Alternative and we agree adding only very cool and rocking the clean cut.
While our assessment of “clean cut” could be the death of many bands playing bars in the Village, their high energy and high spirited style was surprisingly refreshing. You could actually feel safe letting your seventeen year old daughter see the show; I know this for a fact since my kid came along with me to check them out.

Not to be misleading, I must say the women over 21 did all they could to deflower the group’s innocents with alcohol induced shouts of “ I’ll love you” and “take your shirt for me please”, but they held their composure and simply let the music answer their fans request.
I could write volumes about this really cool band, but I won’t waste the copy and let you see for yourselves. .

BTW, you are going to see a lot more of Wes Shippee here at RetroVision Media in the coming months, as he is part of a documentary we are doing on
Radio Theatre
