Lesibu Grand

Venue: Swan Dive Patio Lesibu Grand (pronounced Le-SEE-boo Grand) is a new wave/punk band from Atlanta that grew out of a songwriting partnership between singer Tyler-Simone Molton and bassist John Renaud. The band now includes Brian Turner on guitar, Lee Wiggins on bass and Warren Ullom on keys. Lesibu Grand takes its influences from the original new wave scene, particularly Blondie, and The B-52s, grunge rockers such as Pixies and L7, and British contemporaries Nova Twins and Big Joanie. Distinguished by Tyler-Simone’s warm, ethereal vocal style, Lesibu Grand fuses these strains into a refreshingly modern sound. Lesibu Grand’s music and videos have been featured in Afropunk, BrooklynVegan, Alternative Press, Under The Radar, Fangoria, Paste, and NPR, and often take on the pressing issues of the day. Not Sweet Enough calls out the war on women’s rights now raging in the South; Hot Glue Gun implores listeners to become more politically aware and active; and We Fucking Suck “WFS” is an impassioned call list of social ills that we consistently fail to address, such as homelessness, poverty, voting rights, and income inequality.
