Sleazy Joe

After working in the music- and entertainment business all their lives, Steven, Kim, Johnny and Joe Sleaze decided that it was time to fully commit to the sleazy, glammy, punky rock n' roll that they had grown up with and that they love.
With influences such as Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, Kiss and the Ramones as well as Green Day, Foo Fighters and the Backyard Babies the band focuses on energetic live performances and strong, hooky choruses.
On their very first gig they supported Hardcore Superstar and their third gig was at the Sweden Rock Festival! Sleazy Joe released the debut EP "Rock Star" in 2007, and now the fullength live CD/DVD "Close Enough For Rock N' Roll. LIVE!" is finally here.
