"Swampy, bluesy rock, with hints of folk and country.
Evokes memories of The Doors, Dr. John The Night Tripper, early Rolling Stones and Neil Young, yet has an identity all it's own."

The name "Les Barons" (pronounced lay baron) is taken from the group of voodoo spirits by the same name.

Les Barons was formed to record and perform the blues songs of Exu Nazares. And eventually found themselves being the number one funeral and wake band in BC.
Original demos were tracked on a 4 trk cassette by Exu from 1987-1989 one take usually, and then filed away for about 15 years.
These songs documented the angst and experiences of growing up in spooky rural areas, and various spiritual dramas unfolding in the surrounding woods.The original recordings were scratchy and old sounding, recorded in a house by a cemetery behind a tombstone manufacturing plant.

Flash forward 15 or so years. Les Barons is formed. Starting initially as a 2 piece featuring Baron Exu on Lead vocals, keyboard and drums, Baron Evan on harp, Les Barons recorded the song "House By The Cemetery".
Soon after two became 4 with the addition of Baron Rick on drums and Baron Mark on bass. After various line-up changes a recording was made with Rick on drums, before he left, then more changes until the resulting band was formed.
