I really enjoy The Analogues and their note perfect renditions of the Beatles catalogue so it was a nice surprise when I came across Leonid & Friends who are a Russian/Ukrainian/Molodovan/Belarusian band who specialise in covering music by Chicago. I was a big fan of Chicago back in the day, particularly their first 5 albums, and Leonid & Friends cover their music with astonishing skill and attention to detail. They also cover Earth Wind & Fire superbly. Well worth checking out on YouTube.

I THOUGHT I recognised these guys…
But are they pro-Putin?
Or not?
Well, they toured the US a month or so ago so you’d imagine not.
Great find! They are superb. Such enthusiasm.
Fantastic, love ’em! Blood Sweat and Tears too…
Trigger warning: there’s been a terrible outbreak of stickers on the lead guitarist’s Gibson.
They’re great. I hadn’t realised I knew so many Chicago tracks. That they’re Ukraine & Russian makes it that much more interesting. Thanks @Jazzjet
They’ve done a great version of Earth, Wind and Fire’s September, too.
