Situation Leclerq

Formed in 2004, SITUATION LECLERQ rose from the ashes of former indie/emo-band Byron, who at that time re-arranged their musical style due to artistic limitations the band members felt occuring with the music they were playing. There are a lot of musical influences including a whole range of 80s bands, 90s post punk and hardcore bands and of course recent acts from the indie/electronic/dance branch. Mixing and messing up all these influences, SITUATION LECLERQ create their very own style for sure.



When it comes to writing songs SITUATION LECLERQ find it most important to make them danceable, one of the reasons why the Byron-rock style had to be dismissed. Therefore, one of the main characteristics is the groove - ranging from simple to tricky, generated by a tasty combination of acoustic and synthetic drums always aiming at your legs yet leaving a kind of punkish lo-fi garage sound. This impression is emphasized by footloose bass grooves, often distorted but still powerful and painful to your restless head. The synth varies between deep, crackling bass-tunes and sweet melodies, leaving you begging either for more pondering, heart-shaking buzzes or high-tuned poppy hooks designed to never leave your brains again.



SITUATION LECLERQ's main strength unfolds on stage:

They know how to entertain the crowd. Who ever witnessed one of our shows before became part of a sweaty, dancing and yelling crowd.



SITUATION LECLERQ do not pretend to be the sophisticated musician kinda guys, we do not have fancy haircuts or blinkyblinky stage outfits.



SITUATION LECLERQ is all about dancefloor madness without lame rock-attitudes. The audience becomes part of the band and the stage turns into a dancefloor.



SITUATION LECLERQ has played many shows across Germany and the neighboring countries.

On their way, they have played with internationally recognized acts such as ZOOT WOMAN, JEANS TEAM, MIA, RATATAT, SEACHANGE, SUNSHINE, EPOXIES,WHITEST BOY ALIVE, URLAUB IN POLEN and many many others.



SITUATION LECLERQ strongly suggests always to keep your eyes open: we love playing live shows - who knows, maybe our next show will be near YOUR hometown!!!!
