Videos and Music and MySpace

Hello!

Our MySpace page has a slightly new look. You can follow the link here to the page: http://www.myspace.com/leorampantmusic

We also worked out a new logo. Based off the original design, but it looks sleeker and movie-like.

The Question One music video is nearly complete as well. It should be up on our various sites in September. The running time is 4 minutes, but we gathered so much footage that we will be featuring a 7 minute version at a later date. If anyone recalls, the video features puppets. Here's a sneak peek at one of them...

Let's not forget the music! We are planning on releasing singles from Proviant Audio, Funked Up, Sean Biddle, Sebatien Kenzy, and more in the works.

One thing that didn't spawn this year was Leo's first 12" single. We are still working to get the right fit for our first 12" and we want to make sure it really counts. So as we have said before (and famously remarked by Fatboy Slim): It's done when it's done.

All Quiet on the Canadian Front

Hi everyone,
Leo Rampant has been pretty quiet this summer as we have been very busy with other projects. No need to fret, because Leo is coming back from its little vacation with some bumpin tracks and new videos very soon.

FOXTROT on the move

Back on Leo's birthday (May 6) Cavan Line Films shot the live action reference footage for the Foxtrot video. This footage will be edited into a full-length music video and animation will be matched to the live action with a function called "rotoscoping". We aren't giving too much away at this point, but the final video will feature an animated robot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO!

Today is Leo Rampant's 3rd birthday. Please help us celebrate by posting a comment!

Leo started out in May 6 2005 as a hobby conjured up by Michael Hayes and Matt Hughes. A place for artists to experiment and allow others to experience their music. In November of 2005 Cavan Line Entertainment Ltd was founded by Michael Hayes and his brother Steven Hayes as a legal entity to house various creative projects such as video, film and music. In 2006 Leo Rampant went to sleep for about 6 months as Cavan Line retooled the website and built a business model. July 2006 was the relaunch of Leo with a new look and a more professional approach to the industry - but it never lost its fun and experimental vibe that it started it all. Today Leo is growing into a commercial record label with multimedia outlets to help promote its fine releases. We continue to strive towards sharing our music and our many gifted artists with the world.

We hope everyone enjoys our music as we have a lot of fun making and sharing it with you.
- The Leo Team

What's Happening in May?

Well...
The promotions will commence at the start of May for our new release "J-Spot", which will include radio, articles, etc.
The http://www.leorampant.com/ site will have a few updates added to it, like new artists discographies, but no changes to the overall layout.
The "Question One" music video will launch online at the end of May and television play will start shortly after.
The "Foxtrot" music video will begin pre production. An earlier post mentioned the shooting of live action reference material was to happen at an earlier date, but it was pushed back to the first week of May.
We are also working on completing two new digital singles from Proviant Audio and Funked Up. Proviant will be first with a potential release in June.
The snow has melted here in Canada and the warm air is welcoming. Let's warm the summer up with some Leo Rampant.

Give Someone the J-Spot

The month of April is all about the J-Spot to celebrate our first release of 2008: XS Night's "J-Spot". Like we said before, this single has us very excited and it's one of the best singles we have ever released. XS Night, Dan La Funk and Onleed are new to the Leo lineup and there will be more to see and hear from everyone.
Press kits are being made up this weekend and will be sent to various radio stations, journalists, and DJs. We want to ensure that we can reach as many people as we can with this single. We will keep everyone posted on all announcements related to this single.
Have a listen and funk hard!
- Leo

J-Spot Release in April

Originally we planned this release for January, but after many delays we have finally set a release date for the J-Spot digital single by XS Night...

It will be available for download from junodownload.com. XS Night is new to the Leo Rampant roster with a punchy and fresh French sound that has everyone here at Leo very excited. The remixes are also some of the best that we have put together and include Blame the Funkstar, Dan la Funk, and Onleed. The single compliments itself very well with smooth-funk-dance gems. We are very proud to make this our first release of 2008 and we are confident that this is one of our best singles to date.
