LEADBONE

It is what it is

A few years back, a group of well-educated, morally-suspect science types decided to get together on a regular basis to see if their combined efforts at banging on guitars and drums live was any better than sitting around a room with headphones on trying to play the same parts of the same songs. It turned out that this new set-up was definitely an improvement; and to celebrate, the boys burned sacred incense and sacrificed many homemade beers to their blues idols. In return, the group was visited at the end of a particularly twisted session by the spirit of one of the greatest long-forgotten blues men that never existed:

Cleon Leadbone

Cleon brought along his brothers: Leon, Deon, and Neon (The None). Their presence overwhelmed the group and, in a flash of inspiration, the band discovered not only its name but its very reason for existence.
