Leika

Leika is a London-based band formed in 2006. The group is made up of Romano Giorgi on vocals, guitar and keyboards; Jonathan Mann on lead guitar, vocals and keyboards; Roberto Pinagli on bass and vocals; Keith Perry on saxophone; and Brian Connell on drums. Their original drummer is Jonas Golland, who later leaves the band and is replaced by Connell.

The band first records an eponymous EP with the early lineup. Keith Perry’s saxophone adds a distinctive element to their indie-rock sound, and the presence of saxophone remains a notable feature of the group. Their music combines harmony-led songwriting with post-punk energy and a harder rock edge, and they are particularly known for their live performances. The group is also described as unsigned.

Leika’s album Space on Tuesday is part of their recorded output. The band also has a website at leika.co.uk.
