Jesse Leach

Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach has announced a special DJ/spoken word tour in which the impassioned lead vocalist will perform a solo tour, covering the cities of Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. Running from January  15 to January 24, the night, dubbed “Memories, Words and Songs”, will find Leach “sharing childhood memories, opening up about his musical inspiration, discussing his lyrical themes, and reading personal poetry.”

It will truly be an opportunity for fans to get up close and personal with Leach.

“I am eager and excited to kick off my first DJ tour,” Leach enthused. “I have been at this on and off for six years in the Northeastern U.S. and I love sharing music that moves me! There is an amazing rush I get when I play a song and watching the crowd react or when someone approaches me wanting to know what song I played. I do this because I love it.”

He continued, “However, I also do this to bring to light and give attention to some of the underground bands that have inspired me and music in general.”

Furthermore, Leach said, “My spoken word night is something I’ve wanted to do for a while and it being my first one, I am nervous and quite excited to see how it turns out! I just want to give a little insight into my life and give something back to all of the fans that have supported me over the years through thick and thin…”

You can check out Leach’s personal greeting video for the tour here.  Feel free to also check out his personal Spotify playlist for Fred Perry Subculture.

Presented by Eureka Rebellion Trading and Bowery. Tickets are on sale now via the usual outlets.
