Just a quick hello from LeeVee land. We wish you all a Happy Chanukah and wanted to let you know we are only sleeping. The LeeVees will be playing some shows in 2010 and, eventually, have a new recording out in the big old world.  In the meantime, if you still don't have a copy of Hanukkah Rocks, you can grab a copy (or three) at http://theLeeVees.com

That said, while Adam LeeVee is busy helping record and write the new Guster record and as always, trying his best to do great things for the environment with his non for profit REVERB, Dave LeeVee is not only rocking with his band The Zambonis, he and the other 3 LeeVees started an all new Jewish kids band called The Macaroons!

THE MACAROONS! The Macaroons debut full length album will be released on JDub Records in early 2010 but, from now through Dec 18th, you can get it exclusively at the JDub Webstore!  A special Chanu


kah digital pre-release single is currently available on iTunes.  Besides Dave, The Macaroons are Shawn Fogel from the band Golden Bloom, Dan Saks from The band Deleon and author/drummer Michael Azerrad
 
The Macaroons will be playing their very first show on Sunday, December 13th at City Winery. This is a special early 12 Noon show for children and families. RSVP on Facebook!

  
That's it LeeVites, stick with us, we miss you,
Dave and Adam LeeVee

 WE LOVE OUR BAND MEMBERS:
By the way, some of you know that The LeeVees started with just Adam and Dave writing some songs when their bands Guster and The Zambonis were on tour together. So that is how the LeeVees began but, if you see The LeeVees live and hear some of the new songs such as "Karpas" or "Jewish Stars" you can't not notice the fantastic other 3 members of The LeeVees They have been with us since the first live show in 2005. On drums, Michael Azerrad. We call him Mr. Rhythym, sticks and the less exciting, Mike. Michael is also a very successful music writer. We highly recommend you read his books "Our Band Could Be Your Life" and "Come As You are". On everything (bass, guitar, keys) is Shawn Fogel. Four octave range of goodness on the vocals, a huge head of jew fro and a great new band of his own called The Golden Bloom myspace.com/thegoldenbloom. Lastly, our pal Shankbone Mystic/Dan Saks. He plays everything too. Sadly, he has only a 3 1/2 octave range. Shank is the man with a plan and has an amzing new band called DELEON out now on J-DUB RECORDS www.myspace.com/ilovedeleon. Well, we really hope to see you out there somewhere. Expect a new cd from us next year.
 Have a great day/holiday season,
Dave and Adam LeeVee

Hey all,
we are happy to announce that J Vibe magazine has nominated our song "How Do You spell Chanukkkah" for the funniest jewish song of the year. Competition is tough (sir Adam Sandler) so, we sure could use your vote.

"A spanish friend told me, that it starts with a silent J, but Julio was wrong" ok, we wrote it but, that sh*ts funny.

Hey LeeVites,



The air is getting cooler and the sun is setting earlier as we enter the cold, lonely months of winter. But don't fear--we're also approaching The LeeVees season! Like big fuzzy bears coming out of hibernation, we LeeVees are gearing up to bring you a short and sweet tour of Channukkahh rock.



We begin in CT, head out to the Midwest and eventually end it all including a super special performance at Symphony Hall with THE BOSTON POPS! We have some new non chhhannukkkah songs like "Karpas" and "Hebrew School Drop Out" that you will hopefully hear when you come to see us live. As always, our cds are still available at www.theleevees.com and are up on itunes--the perfect Hanukah gift! We have some new stickers up on the site that are priced nicely -- especially the congregation discount (25 stickers for $6).

Hello Leevites,



Dave and Adam LeeVee here. Great stuff going on in LeeVee world. First we would like your attention. OK, that's better. We went shopping yesterday and all we heard at Borders, Target etc etc were songs from the other team.

Yell it in your Gramma Bubbie's good ear! Alert the bloggers! The LeeVees cd "Hanukkah Rocks" is the perfect Hannukah gift and is also your answer to not just hearing the same old songs during the holiday season.
That's it for our rant. Here is whats happening.

the now classic "How Do You Spell Channukkah?"
