MICHALE GRAVES broke through on the music scene in 1995 as the lead singer of legendary Horror Punk band THE MISFITS. He wrote, recorded and released 2 studio albums (American Psycho and Famous Monsters) with that band as well as 1 live album (Evilive II) and an album of B-sides and other unreleased tracks (Cuts From The Crypt).

In 2001, MICHALE GRAVES left THE MISFITS and released his first solo album (Web Of Dharma) and in 2003 he started a new band called GOTHAM ROAD, with whom he also released a 7 song EP.

In 2005, MICHALE GRAVES signed a record deal with Horror High records and released 2 new solo albums (Punk Rock Is Dead and Return To Earth) and in 2007 MICHALE GRAVES released an album called "Illusions" which he co-wrote with DAMIEN ECHOLS of the West Memphis Three (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_Three). MICHALE GRAVES followed that up with an acoustic live album called "Illusions Live: Viretta Park".

Currently, MICHALE GRAVES continues to tour as a solo act as well as fronting Punk Rock legend MARKY RAMONE'S band BLITZKREIG and he just finished recording his latest solo album (Vagabond), which he is set to be released this spring.

MICHALE GRAVES is now working on a new Horror Punk album called "The Lost Skeleton Returns" which will see him return to his Horror Punk roots, re-recording modern versions of many of his early hits as well as 4 new Monster Rock songs...and to celebrate this "return to form", MICHALE GRAVES will be playing a limited number of special engagement shows in FULL MONSTER ROCK STAGE SETUP AND MAKEUP (with his "Skelecrow" personal from his days with THE MISFITS and early solo career).

MICHALE GRAVES is now returning to Western Canada for the first time in 12 years (his first time since leaving The Misfits) to play a special CANADIAN EXCLUSIVE MONSTER ROCK show in Lethbridge, headlining the LEO LIVES MEMORIAL SHOW!!!

THE MISFITS were one of Leo's favorite bands (especially the Graves-era) and having MICHALE GRAVES headline the inagural LEO LIVES MEMORIAL SHOW is a perfect fit!!

THE PINDOLLS were formed in Calgary, Alberta in 2002 as a three-piece punk/metal band by Jay Heffernan (vox/guitar), Tyler Moisey (bass) and Aaron Greene (drums), who had all grown up together since elementary school. All three were also very close friends of Leo's. Leo attended more PINDOLLS show than probably anyone else ever had and traveled with them as a tour manager/roadie.

By 2003, THE PINDOLLS found the missing cog in their machine of insanity in guitarist Ben Everyman and their sound had evolved past classification as metal or punk. With rock n roll and funk influences, they didn't fit with metal bands because they weren't "heavy" or "hardcore" enough and they didn't fit with punk bands because they were too melodic and eccentric ("rock stars" as some might say).

In 2004 they released their first EP (O.M.E.D.) and established a fanbase/following through touring and networking around Western Canada. They released a follow-up EP (O.M.E.D. Side 2: The Morning After) in 2006 and that year they also played a very memorable set in Lethrbridge at the Southern Alberta Hardcore & Metal Festival, selling out all of their merchandise and leaving many fans hungry for more.

Unfortunately, they disbanded in 2007 shortly before Leo's death. Now, after more than 6 years, the LEO LIVES MEMORIAL SHOW will host a special one-time reunion from THE PINDOLLS!!!
