DOWN THE LEES – Passionate Powerhouse Trio Released Live Goosebumps Movie/Album ‘THIS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE’

Posted on by JL

18 March 2026

Band: DOWN THE LEES
Who: A passionate powerhouse trio, rooted in Vancouver and Belgium, and now based
in the Okanagan Valley, by guitarist/vocalist Laura Lee Schultz, with Andy Ashley on drums
and Chris Carlson on bass.

So far, DTL have released 4 albums. 360 1/4 Degrees (2008), The Guest Room (2008),
Bury The Sun (2019), and Dirt (2024). You can and should, if you haven’t already, check them all out via Bandcamp or Spotify.

Three records that show the evolution in the trio’s towering noise-rock escapades,
marked by an inflaming emotionality, a torch-burning feverishness, and frontwoman Schultz sky-scraping vocals. Her poignant lyrics are embedded in a wall of astonishing thunderstorm-sound, creating a trance-like atmosphere that mesmerizes.

Following album No. 3 the band toured and filmed a high-concept concert at
the Mary Irwin Theatre in Kelowna, Canada. It features 5 tracks from Dirt, 3 from
Bury The Sun and the stupendous non-album track Midi-Doric.

One of the best live records I heard in a long while.

Get ready for a relentless roller coaster,
a gigantesque noiz tour de force,
a bone-chilling experience.

Posted on by JL

Brilliant actor GENE HACKMAN, his wife Betsy Arakawa (65), and one
of their three dogs were found dead on February 26, at their residence
in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Their bodies were discovered during a wellness check, after a maintenance worker
grew concerned when the couple did not answer the door. He saw the bodies through
a window and called 911. There were no traces of foul play. Hackman who was born named Eugene Allen Hackman in San Bernardino, CA was 95.

As I just read a great NME eulogy – you can read
it here – two of his best and my favourite movies
came to mind.
