“So…my final ruling on Ledaswan? I like ‘em. Not a little, but a lot. Go to iTunes. Get NUMB3R5. Learn it. Live it. Love it.” -Drago Froglix

Ledaswan came together over an urgent love for the Jesus and Mary Chain’s echoed-stoned “Psychocandy,” the fractured bass melodies of Joy Division’s “Day of Lords,” the sinister charm of Mazzy Star’s “Halah.”

Ledaswan is singer/guitarist Erica Monzon, and guitarist/hubby Jaime Monzon, Brother/guitarist David Monzon, bassist Lalo Rodriguez, and Nick Ochoa on drums. Together Ledaswan creates a definite melodic-rock sound with tinges of punk, and heartfelt vocals. Their first attempt at a self-produced EP “Verse of Truth Trash and Beauty” was voted by San Antonio Current readers for “Best New Album.” Erica Monzon won best “Singer-Songwriter.” Their 3rd EP NUM83R5 was released last year and was voted top 3 best new album of 2011, and Ledaswan was voted top 3 best indie-rock band by the SA Current. Two new music videos “Faulkner” and “What a Way Two Drown” were released in 2011 with wide-spread circulation on the world wide web. Ledaswan toured with Girl in a Coma and Miss Derringer, they also shared the stage with stellar bands such as Nico Vega, Veruca Salt, Jeremy Inigk and Lydia. They plan to release a full-length album early in 2013.
