Leap Year (band)

Leap Year are a Canadian rock band, formed in 1974 by Thomas Thicknesse (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Martin Berger (vocals, bass). Based on the often cryptic lyrics of bandleader Thicknesse, Leap Year are often classified as one of the first Canadian new wave bands. They are probably best known outside of Canada for their two sole US hits, both charting a decade apart from each other, "Katie" (1983; charted 1989) and "Mysterion Brain" (2000; charted 2001).
