Misterlee

Misterlee are an alternative rock band from Leicester, England. Centred on the talents of Lee Allatson, Misterlee have released three albums, Chiselgibbon and Night of the Killer Longface, followed by a collection of live recordings - Bootlegger/Misterlee Is Not A Lifestyle Sandwich in late 2006. Performing live, Misterlee comprised Allatson on vocals, drums and effects, augmented by guitarist Jamie Smith and Michael "Curtis" Oxtoby on electric violin and bass guitar, although Oxtoby left in late 2007. The band has played live around the UK, as well as in the United States, sharing bills with the likes of Hamell on Trial, Sebadoh, Jeffrey Lewis, Johnny Dowd, Simple Kid, and The Mountain Goats, and has also appeared at festivals such as In the City, Secret Garden Party and Summer Sundae.
The band has played Antifolk UK festivals in London, and has been described as "a world of anti-folk, Beck-like genre teasing played out in an English country garden on full band and ukelele [sic]". The band were featured on the first Antifolk UK compilation album, though their sound is not traditionally 'antifolk' and comparisons with other bands are difficult.
