Les Sampou "My My My"

Everybody and their cousin knows someone in a band.

And so everybody and their cousin wants to tell me about how AWESOME their friend/family member is, and how we should totally play them on mvyradio.

I try to be open-minded, but really, it's not like I'm going to hold off on that new Neil Young album, so we can start playing your uncle's accountant's babysitter's boyfriend's new Emo band.

So when my wife's cousin Jenny told me her neighbor was a really great musician, I gave my usual, "well, tell her to send me a CD," and I didn't think much of it.

At a few consecutive family gatherings, Jenny mentioned her cool neighbor, and how their kids played together by day, but the neighbor rocked shows at night.

It wasn't until a few repeat mentions, that Jenny actually said her name: Les Sampou.

Les has been making records in the Boston area for nearly 20 years. She's not your uncle's accountant's babysitter's boyfriend. She's the real rock n roller next door.
