Today is Ryan “Frogs” McCormack’s birthday, the co-founding member of LeetStreet Boys. Since he’s such an awesome producer and awesome guy, today’s blog is an biographical tribute to him.

Frogs first began his music career on the Nintendo Entertainment System, as a guitarist for acclaimed rock group, Battletoads.

Unfortunately, the group fell apart before the 16 bit era, though GameStop still might have a copy of Battletoads if you call them and ask.

After the traumatic breakup, he joined numerous other bands including Freeride, The Bowling Gnomes, The Neon Calm, and Oh Crap! Ninjas. Here is Frogs performing onstage with Lucy Lawless (Xena Warrior Princess) at a gig in 2007:

After being impressed by a rough acoustic demo of “Yuri The Only One,” Frogs signed on as bassist, guitarist and producer of LeetStreet Boys. The rest, as they say, is history.

When away from LeetStreet Boys, Frogs spends most of his time in LA playing leapfrog with his bass, and freaking people out with the elusive frogface!

Without Frogs, there would be no LeetStreet Boys. Everyone, wish him a happy birthday!

I will be at Queen City Kamakaze next weekend, doing a musical performance, a music panel and selling albums. See you there!

Want LeetStreet Boys to perform at a convention near you? Here’s how to do it. We’re hoping to do some awesome touring this coming summer!

We’ve recently added new custom-made background art to our JamLegend songs, making the game even more fun to play! The art was done by Meph, runner-up in our shirt design contest last year.

JamLegend recently announced that they have over 1 million registered users on their site. We extend our congratulations!

We added our own paypal store for the new song release, since iTunes isn’t up yet. If you buy directly from us, we will email you the MP3. Thank you!

More action from SetsuCon:

Which convention is on your list to attend next?

It’s done, as promised! <3

We’ seen a tons of amazing otaku stuff come out of “Yuri The Only One” over the course of the song’s lifespan. Ballroom dances. Marriage proposals. Weddings. Lots of love, much more than we ever imagined. So here is the long ago announced, all-new version version for Valentines Day 2010. The perfect gift for your otaku sweetheart! The song is available on our bizmo microstore, and will be up on iTunes as soon as possible.

Edit: Since iTunes has been slow in queuing this song and we have no control over when it goes live, we have made our own paypal store to purchase this song right away. Buy from us directly and we will send you the MP3 via email. (see below)
