Down the Lees released their concert film This Is What It Feels Like earlier this month, and guitarist and vocalist Laura Lee Schultz is pretty clear about what she wanted people to walk away with. “Almost like watching a movie and a live performance at the same time,” she says. “We wanted it to be fully immersive.”
The members of BC noise rockers Down the Lees each have their own must-haves on tour. The ever-practical drummer Andy Ashley comes armed with tools and extension cords, while the evidently more sentimental bassist Chris Carlson brings jewel box full of gems that his daughter gave him for good luck. As for singer-guitarist Laura Lee Schultz, "I bring my Evil Dead lunch box, which I have had since the '90s, to use as our merch cash register."
Kelowna-based noise rock outfit Down The Lees have released “This Is What It Feels Like,” a live concert film and accompanying album that captures a singular theatre performance in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Funded by Creative BC, the project went from green light to stage in just three months — a sprint that forced the band to think deliberately about setlist, pacing, and how visuals would interact with the music.
