Lee Memorial bring Berlin to The Tote this Fri 13th

Lee Memorial started out as a ramshackle solo project of Karl Smith from Sodastream, but after enlisting the help of a brigade of unlikely cohorts from Ninety-Nine, The Nation Blue and Gaslight Radio, the project began to take on a life all its own.

Lee Memorial tumbled in and out of luck through 2008. They played sporadic live shows and chipped away at their album, all-the-while battling illness, relationship breakdowns, death, unhappy computers and the devastating effects of cheap shampoo. So now, after having shaken off last year’s blues, Lee Memorial return to the Tote on March 13 with their new record – the lives of lee memorial - tucked under their spindly little arms and a whole lot of nervous energy to burn.

Friday the 13th seemed a fitting date for this unlucky and accident-prone bunch to launch their new single, Belin. To celebrate making it this far, they’re giving away a free single to the first forty haircuts through the door; the rest get to buy themselves a beer.

Supports on the night will be Dot Dash labelmates St Helens, and Lakes.
