St Leonards is an alternative rock band now solo project (Shane Fritsch) from Sydney, Australia. St Leonards' debut album is self-titled ''St Leonards'' and was released in 2009. Shane cites The Smashing Pumpkins, Coldplay, Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Harper, Ben Lee, Snow Patrol, Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, Bob Seger, Deftones and U2 as his musical influences. St Leonards are best known for their songs "Now That We've Grown" and "Best Part of Me", both featured on The CW network TV shows ''The Vampire Diaries'' and ''Beauty & the Beast'', respectively. == History == Shane worked with engineer/producer Trent Dobson on Shane’s earlier solo record. The two got back together to start recording what was to be Shane’s second solo record and asked Chris Koelma to come along to some sessions to record bass guitar. When a drummer was needed, Chris mentioned that he knew a good drummer and asked him to come along. The sessions went so well that Shane Fritsch asked Chris Koelma and Jeff Doukakis to join a band as Shane Fritsch always wanted to be in a band, but had not yet found the right people. Shane was being managed by Ted Gardner at the time. He sent the unfinished recordings to his friend and producer John Wooler in the US. Wooler loved what he heard and wanted to produce the band's album. Shane, Jeff, Chris and Trent then decided to travel to Los Angeles, to record what was to become their self-titled debut album and St Leonards was born. The band owes its name to its front man and songwriter, Shane Fritsch. He used to live in a small apartment in "St Leonards" suburb, in Sydney, Australia. Most of the songs on the band's self-titled debut album were written by Shane in that apartment. Shane Fritsch reflected back to the writing process and St. Leonards seemed the right choice. St Leonards has evolved back into a solo project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Leonards (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
