The LeperKhanz are an experimental troupe of musicians that mix ancient sea shantys, Irish fiddle, reggae, classical, hip-hop, disco and rock. Originally formed in 2003, they tour extensively throughout the United States, particularly the west coast and California. Their 2005 studio album "Tiocfaidh Ar La" (Irish for "Our day will come" which has been known as an Irish Republican Army slogan, though they claim no affiliation) has been played on radio stations in both the US and Ireland (FM94.9 San Diego, KCXX-FM X103.9 San Bernardino, KRBD-FM 105.9 Ketchikan, others), is popular on "Paddy Rock Radio" in Chicago, and has sold thousands of copies on iTunes and was also nominated for a San Diego Music Award. They are reportedly working on a new studio album. The LeperKhanz have also had many television appearances and video dubs, particularly around the St. Patrick's Day holiday. (KUSI, Telemundo) The LeperKhanz have endorsement deals with Dean Markley Strings, BarFly Clothing, and 186 Mafia Clothing. == History == JP, Nino, and Rhy were previously in the rock band "The Clydzdale Jockeyz".
