J. LEBANG: THE MOTOR CITY ROCKER
Producer | Vocalist | Multi-Instrumentalist | Detroit Rock Architect
THE SONIC VISION
J. LeBang is the definitive architect of the modern Detroit "Wall of Sound." With a career forged in the gritty clubs of the Motor City and refined in elite recording sessions from Detroit to Seattle, LeBang has earned his reputation as an uncompromising independent force. Known as the "Motor City Rocker," his music is a high-octane fusion of hard rock grit, cinematic allure, and funk-driven soul—all delivered with a "bombastic positive energy" that has become his professional calling card.
THE 2026 MILESTONE: ELECTROGASM
LeBang’s latest masterpiece, Electrogasm, is a monumental collaborative achievement featuring 38 international musicians. Stepping into the dual role of Producer and Lead Mixing Engineer at Landsbury Lane, LeBang (alongside technical assistant Mark Papow) meticulously crafted a high-fidelity experience designed specifically for the needle.
The project’s prestige is solidified by its manufacturing at Third Man Pressing in Detroit. By partnering with the world-renowned facility owned by Jack White, LeBang ensures his independent vision meets the highest audiophile standards, capturing every nuance of his "Arsenal of Guitars" and the legendary Detroit Wind Section.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS & LEGACY
•The Felony Roots: Co-founded the seminal Detroit band Felony, establishing a raw rock foundation that recently culminated in a high-profile reunion with guitarist Jeff Hoagland for the Electrogasm title track.
•A "Who’s Who" of Collaborators: Throughout his career, LeBang has recruited a staggering roster of talent, including heavy metal royalty like Steve Unger (Metal Church), Brazilian virtuoso Kiko Shred, and Seattle powerhouse Krystle Pyette (Limberlost).
•Detroit Soul Synergy: A collaborator with the "Queen of Detroit Soul/Rock," Tosha Owens, and 9-time Detroit Music Award winner Takashi Iio, LeBang bridges the gap between different generations of Detroit excellence.
THE LIVE EXPERIENCE: BOMBASTIC & DANGEROUS
J. LeBang’s live performances are a masterclass in stage presence and sonic power. Whether leading a core "Power Unit" or conducting an expansive ensemble of Detroit legends, a LeBang show is a high-voltage celebration of the Motor City spirit. With a repertoire spanning from the 80s-inspired hooks of "Baby, I Missed You" to the dark, grunge-heavy weight of "Breaker," his sets are engineered to engage, empower, and leave the audience "unleashed."
"I don't just want the audience to hear the music; I want them to feel the horsepower," says LeBang. "We build the energy at Landsbury Lane, but the stage is where we set it on fire."
