Back in full swing

Lee Presson and the Nails (also known as LPN) is a swing big band that originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in October 1994. The band differentiates itself from other bands of the late '90s swing revival by their wacky stage antics and the sinister appearance of bandleader Lee Presson. The San Francisco Chronicle described LPN in 1996 by coining the term "Goth Swing." They won a California Music Award in 1998 for best Swing/Cabaret act and have released four CDs to date, three of which are still available.
LPN temporarily disbanded in 2004 when Lee Presson moved to Hollywood. During that time Lee was the keyboard player for the Oingo Boingo tribute band Dead Man's Party. After a two-year hiatus, Lee Presson and the Nails performed a reunion show in San Francisco on 17 September 2006 at the DNA Lounge. More "reunion" shows kept popping up, Presson moved back to the Bay Area and soon LPN was back in full swing, so to speak. The return in 2008 of chanteuse Leslie Presley, Lee's former wife, made the reunion complete.
