Rock & Roll Singer
Music is Life
FABU–Leslie and the T-Man deliver this track with their signature wink and a shrug, wrapping a love story in comic-book chaos and ice cream truck heroics. Originally, Leslie wrote the lyrics as a pretty direct tribute to her relationship with T-Man—sweet, specific, and, by their own assessment, flirting dangerously with “toothache-level corny.” So they did what any sensible duo would do: masked it in capes, villains, and frozen treats.
We wrote “Big Can O’ Rats” to celebrate the chaos of everyday life. Fueled by ‘too much’ Sanka, we explore wild cravings and awkward moments. The song is a reminder that even when things get messy, laughter can help us embrace the madness with a smile, a coupla horns and a funky bass line!
FABU-Leslie and the T-Man return with STUNG, a gutsy, groove-laced romp that peeks behind the crown jewels of long-term love....where tiaras fly, tempers flare, and love still finds a way.

Performing with Precious Metal There's something very special about the people in this band. I find the kindness extraordinary. The generosity of everyone playing together, old members and new! Rehearsals, dinner and drinks after are heartwarming!
1978. Baby It's you is a hit! Benny, Jed and I are on tour in Europe.
We started out in Holland, went to Austria, Switzerland, Germany etc. This photo was taken in Berlin by Jim (he also managed Nina Hagen) Rakete. Jim had a rabbit running and hopping free in his studio, very cute.
