Tallebudgera Valley’s own Leopold’s Treat are giving back to their local community with a very special show on October 7.

Another local talent, Felicity Lawless, will also play a set. Money raised will also benefit animal and environmental charities. What a great opportunity to come together with your neighbours and hear some great music from your backyard? This video gives you a little indication of the kind of fun you’re in for!

If you live in the area, make sure you get along to Tallebudgera Valley Community Hall on October 7. It all kicks off at 4 pm, and with tickets costing $30 for adults and $10 for kids, it’s a pretty affordable night out. Get yours now from Yapsody.

Leopold’s Treat Provides Your Sunday Soundtrack With “Don’t Give Up On Love”

It’s been around nine months since I heard anything from Gold Coast band Leopold’s Treat, but I’m glad to have them back on my radar with their brand new video “Don’t Give Up On Love.” It’s such a feel-good song, relaxing and rejuvenating, perfect for your Sunday. The good news is, there’s more on the way, with another clip set to drop next month.

“We are very excited to have some new material to share with our friends, family and supporters and are totally stoked about our upcoming shows, which will no doubt be great platforms for expanding our reach and getting our music further out into the world!” lead singer Kate Leopold said in a press release.

Listening to Leopold’s Treat puts me in such a good mood. I can’t wait to hear more!

Leopold’s Treat Doing Good

I always love hearing music from exciting up-and-coming acts, but when they’re made up of people doing good in the community it’s doubly exciting. Gold Coast act Leopold’s Treat ticks both those boxes for me.

They formed in 2011, but are starting to gain some serious traction in their local area, culminating in taking home the Emerging Artist of the Year award at the recent Gold Coast Music Awards. One of their songs, “Houndogs and Bullfrogs,” was also a finalist in the Song of the Year category.

Watching this live video of the song with footage recorded at Leopold’s Treat’s album launch last October, it’s easy to see what a great energy the band has. They’re clearly loved by their community; the place is packed to the rafters.

While talent’s clearly a part of that love, I think there’s more going on. Kate Leopold (lead vocals) and Keiran Richardt (lap slide, harmonies, didge, other strings) work together as environmental educators at a local social enterprise that serves more than 32,000 kids every year.

“It is not uncommon for us to be playing at a market where a group of children are dancing to one of our songs and the band members are recognised as the educators that teach worm farming, water quality or how to identify and grow native plants,” Kate Leopold told me in an email.

If you want to dance with Leopold’s Treat, make sure you catch them at the following shows.
