Ed's Redeeming Qualities was an alternative folk group that was founded in Boston in 1988, and originally consisted of Dani Leone (vocals, ukulele), Dom Leone (vocals, guitar), Carrie Bradley (vocals, violin, guitar, and also of The Breeders), and Neno Perrotta (vocals, percussion). Dom Leone died of cancer in 1989. Jonah Winter joined the band for the albums Big Grapefruit Cleanup Job and At The Fish And Game Club.
Links to Peel[]
Peel played a track from the band's debut single, 'Ed's Day', in September 1989 and would play further material from the group until the summer of 1991. After 1992, Peel seemed to have lost interest in the group's material.
