Multi-award-winning Mãori musician Troy Kingi is heading on tour to celebrate album number eight of the 10 l 10 l 10 series - 'Leatherman & the Mojave Green'. The latest album in the series is a homecoming of sorts for Troy, returning to the genre of music that ultimately enticed him in to the industry - rock music.
Inspired in his mid teens by so many artists that have come from or created in the Mojave Desert region (Kyuss, QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal) it was an easy decision for Troy to record this album in the home of Desert Rock: Joshua Tree, in a studio synonymous with that sound 'Rancho de la Luna'.
Rancho is run by Dave Catching, a legend in his right (QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, The Mojave Lords etc), and being entrenched in that environment with such deep folklore and rich rocky tapestry, Troys album seemingly formed itself - borrowing sweaty heat from the sandy desert, eclectic melodies from the sunlit mountains, ancient rhythms from sacred caves and a sharp pointy punch from the Joshua Tree Cactus.
