His band

In the Ship Ahoy, one of the many local bars that Lee and his band of homosexual flâneurs frequent, Lee orders a shot of mezcal for courage before standing up to bow in Allerton’s direction.

The actor was able to promote his new Paramount+ series, “Landman,” while on tour with his band, the Boxmasters, in Texas in September.

Gail met Les McKeown, the original frontman of the band, at an intimate gig of his band Egotrip in 1997.

Ice, who takes riffs and songs written by his band and rearranges them to his liking before coming up with lyrics, adds, “People don’t understand that when you make a record, you might put on 12,13, songs, but you made 27 that didn’t make it because they weren’t good enough. You don’t want to use them for the next album. You have to start from scratch.”

A few years later, in 1985, the Blasters hired Yoakam and his band as the opening act for a tour of the South and the East Coast.
