The man, the myth, the legend known as Theodore Francis Leo sweated it out at a packed Generation Records with over 130 diehards last month. It was a personal honor having this man play the store. You can check out a video of Ted playing fan favorite, “Me & Mia,” below.

Ted Leo will playing an acoustic set at Generation Records on Thursday, June 17th. The free show will start at 7:30 pm. Entry will be first-come, first-serve.

TL will be promoting his sixth full-length, The Brutalist Bricks, which came out two months ago via Matador Records. Buy the album from the store and you’ll receive a signed poster. This offer will only be available up until the day of the in-store. One poster per customer. So come by and pick up the record (if you haven’t already) and see you on the 17th.

Easily one of the best records of 2010 so far.

Soft Focus host Ian Svenonius has had some pretty huuuuuge guests on the show recently. Jello Biafra, Stephen Malkmus, Mike Watt and Ted Leo just to name a few and I’m finally catching up. Well, Ian is usually a trip but I gotta say, put me in a room for six hours with him AND Jello and I just might lose my god damn mind. Check out a few videos below.

Against Me! and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists combined for one hell of a double bill at Webster Hall on October 11th.

The highlight of the show was Against Me! playing “The Disco Before The Breakdown,” which I have never heard the band play live before. Even though there was no horn section with it, it still sounded amazing. Check out some pictures after the jump.
