About the Artist
LEE PRESS-ON AND THE NAILS are an award-winning Big Band out of San Francisco. Led by the manic Lee Press-on and the sultry Leslie Presley, they have been pounding out their peculiar brand of sinister swing since 1994.
Product Description
For their latest and greatest CD release, San Francisco's multiple award-winning LEE PRESS-ON AND THE NAILS are tackling the latin genre... with a twist! This may not be the latin you're used to... this is Hollywood Latin, the kind of music that puts you in the mind of Los Angeles in the 50s. Of course, LPN's trademark Big Band sound is here too, along with new originals and some stuff that's just downright silly.

Screamin' fun swing!.......2004-10-28
The world's weirdest swing band goes Latin -- sorta.......2004-01-29
LPN is best live (they're almost a comedy act, and Leslie looks sooooo delicious in those red dresses of hers), but make great albums too. The focus of this album is on their Latin tunes, so there is less of their characteristic hard-swing, so I like it a bit less than their last two albums. Nonetheless, it's still great. Listening to it is a party in itself.
The best tracks are the first and last: "Pico and Sepulveda" is a energetic swing-polka on the names of Los Angeles Streets. It gets the album off to a awesome start. "Mexican Radio" takes the Wall of Voodoo song (and its screamingly funny lyrics) and swings the hell out of it. I love listening to them play these two pieces live, and having them on disc is a real pleasure.
Other great works: a Latin version of the swing classic "Begin the Beguine" (recording technology turns the band into a real sixteen-piece big band on this one!). "(You've Got a Shaolin Kung-Fu Death Grip on My Soul" is the most danceable song, a sort of Stray-Cats like bit of rockabilly with hysterical lyrics. "Pink Elephants on Parade" ressurects a very un-PC Disney song. And Leslie croons sexily on "Coax Me a Little."
If you want some unique modern music, grab a copy. Also get "Playing Dirty," their live recording. (Hey, I was there!)
Watch out for Lee Press-On, he is the future leader of your planet!
