6 DEC 2024 · Leon Ewing frontman and bassist for 90s rock band, Beaverloop. Blasting onto the scene as winners of the once revered campus band competition, Beaverloop rocked the stages and paved the way for a 90s rock scene that included Eskimo Joe Jebediah and a host of early 90s Aussie rock royalty. Beaverloop quickly became renowned for the coolest shows, the coolest video clips, and a monster live sound.
In 1999, at the peak of their powers, the Beaverloop dream suddenly imploded, and Leon was forced to figure out a life that catered for his force of pure creativity. A life that featured film, video, television, extensive First Nations projects, and most recently, his most mind altering project, Sonnenmass.
