I’ll be interviewing Leigh Thompson, a guitarist in the band Statehood, whose debut album “Lies and Rhetoric” is released this month. In Statehood, Leigh, a former member of Vehicle Birth, joins Clark Sabine and two ex-members of the Dismemberment Plan, Eric Axelson and Joe Easley. They join The Travis Morrison Hellfighters to celebrate a CD release for Harris this Saturday, 11/17 at the Middle East.
