Episode 314: Chris Leo of The Van Pelt

from Beginnings

On today's episode I talk to musician Chris Leo. Originally from New Jersey, Chris started playing music in the early 1990s with his brother Danny in the groundbreaking hardcore band Native Nod. When they broke up, Chris formed the post-rock band The Van Pelt, whose two albums - Stealing From Our Favorite Thieves and Sultans Of Sentiment - were released by NJ indie record label Gern Blandsten. Chris then formed The Lapse with Van Pelt member Toko Yasuda (also of Enon and Blonde Redhead) and then the Vague Angels. A few years ago, La Castanya released a Van Pelt rarities album called Imaginary Third. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.
