STRANGEWAYS (UK) 2009 Are 6, predominantly Northern lads who met at university in London, thriving on their 'ragbag' of underground styles and their punkoid dual vocal attack.

The story of The Leisure Society began in Burton-Upon-Trent when Nick Hemming picked up a guitar and formed a band with Shane Meadows, Paddy Considine and Rich Eaton.

After serving time with Burton's best known exports The Telescopes (latterly Unisex), Nick contributed scores to some of Shane's movies, including A Room For Romeo Brass and Dead Man's Shoes, under a new moniker The Leisure Society.
