It Could Be the Fever
In the 1983 reviews we came upon a band called Louisiana Leroux and there was so little known about them at the time. But, thanks to the research team here at The Listening Post their 1980 record has been unearthed.
If this band lived in Brooklyn and released this album in 2015 they would be hailed as ironic/unironic purveyors of a hair metal revival.
Sadly, they are not from Hipsterville and this is a serious entry to the Triumph/UFO style of played out rock that will only just keep pouring out Toto-esque spinners well into the decade.
Thing is, Le Roux gets it right (but not the first time. See what I did there? No? That’s cuz you didn’t listen to the whole thing). The other thing is that it’s really uninteresting and at times duller than the strings on my guitar which hadn’t been changed in 16 years. (I changed them. Bar Chords are no longer an issue.)
