Leah Colette has been around in the scene over 10 years. I first saw her as bassist of the eclectic Joliet funk rock trio Catapult The Propaganda at a Saturday night Chicago Metal Alliance Summer 2013 local metal showcase in Downers Grove. Leah had a growling low vocal delivery that was as distinctive as her extraordinary bass jams. She's moved on from CTP to the more hardcore intense metal band All Outta Gum. Here she's front and center with her raspy high energy lead vocal. Th five-piece band rocks live at J.J. Kelly's in Lansing this Saturday night, November 15th. Leah joins to talk about the transition from Catapult to All Outta Gum.
