Leo Invests in New Rock Band

Leonardo DiCaprio just can’t stop wanting to be a rock and roll entrepreneur.

Remember, for a while there was backing a band called Leroi featuring his good friend, Stuart Zender from Jamiroquai. For a minute the band was signed to Geffen Records but nothing happened. Leroi frittered away.

Now Leo is at it again. Perhaps he’ll have more luck with Blackcowboy. He’s presenting them on Friday night at the House of Blues in West Hollywood on a bill with some other unknown acts. You can hear Blackcowboy on their MySpace page, where DiCaprio is listed as their first "friend." It helps that they’re not bad at all. In fact, Blackcowboy’s acoustic rock-based dreamy sound is reminiscent of… Leroi.

As usual, the Leo posse involvement is total. DiCaprio’s ex girlfriend Gisele Bundchen stars in the group’s first video, a U2-ish song called "Come On," directed by Leo’s best pal Kevin Connolly. Leo’s close buddy Lukas Haas, the former child star (from the movie "Witness"), who also has a band, often either performs with Blackcowboy or they with him in different clubs. The group also has a song called "Lukas." It’s not exactly like the good old days of The Eagles and Jackson Browne, but what can you do in 2008?
