Leisure Class cds are available from www.leisureclass.net/shop Formed in Detroit in 1977 as Mr. Unique & the Leisure Suits, they got their start as the opening act for The Mumps (featuring Lance Loud) and local favorites like Flirt and Destroy All Monsters. In the following years, they managed to amuse, annoy, and antagonize all manner of audiences before finally releasing their four-song EP, Mr. Unique & the Leisure Class in 1983. The record received generally favorable, though puzzled, reviews from Dennis Loren in the Metro Times, who found "something to offend everyone," and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press. The band moved to New York, making their debut at CBGB in 1984, and evolved into the ever-changing Leisure Class, launching a musical and visual assault on the comfort and sanity of those poor unfortunate souls who wandered into the East Village bars and performance spaces of the late 1980's and early 1990's. Their performances featured, at various times, legendary writer Herbert Huncke, a custom-built two-story prison, impaled goat's heads, and Abraham Lincoln. On August 23, 2005, Leisure Class was profiled on the National Public Radio show, Day to Day. "The Rise, Fall and Reunion of the Leisure Class" can be heard here: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4811940 Their songs are now available on the 2-CD compilation, Leisure Class Recordings 1979-1994 . live in Detroit, 1985 ..
