They play rock music, inspired by bands like Nirvana and Pixies.
They did a lot of concerts all over their hometown, Rio de Janeiro, and become well-known on the alternative brazilian scene. They even played at big independent festivals, and gained a lot of respect on the underground and alternative music scene.
In 2003, they signed a contract with Arsenal Music and began to work on their first album, at this point Leela consisted of Bianca Jhordão(guitar/vocals), Rodrigo Brandão (guitar), Tchago Kockenborger (bass) and Luciano Grossman (drums).
Their album was released in late 2004, and the first single "Te Procuro" gained some considerable airplay on the main radio brazilian stations, which basically putted them on the map of mainstream brazilian bands.
They continued to gain new fans, were voted Best New Artist on the 2005 MTV Video Music Brasil Awards and were choosen to be Avril Lavigne's opening act on 3 of the 4 concerts she played in Brazil, in September of 2005.
They released a new single, "Odeio Gostar", which wasn't as big as "Te Procuro" but still had some airplay on radio stations.
On 2006, they started to work in a new album, and often played new songs at small gigs, which made the fans really anxious to hear the final result. However, the album only came out in September of 2007, when Leela finally solved some problems with the recording label and signed with Universal Records. Right now they work on a music video for the first single "Pequenas Caixas" (which is also the name of the album) and will be launching their releasement tour pretty soon.

Кpa!? Mutilaram o filme, cortaram uma cena
E sу porque aparecia uma coisa que todo mundo conhece
E se nгo conhece ainda vai conhecer
E nгo tem nada de mais
Se a gente nasceu com uma vontade que nunca se satisfaz
Verdadeiro perigo na mente dos boзais
Corri pro quarto, acendi a luz,
Olhei no espelho, o meu tava lб
Ainda bem que eu nгo tф na tv, senгo iam ter que cortar!

(Ui!) Sexo! Como й que eu fico sem sexo!
Eu quero sexo! Me dб sexo!
Sexo! Como й que eu fico sem sexo!

Leela's song "Sexo!" is a commentary on the censorship of sex in media and the hypocrisy surrounding it. In the first verse, Leela discusses a movie that was edited for TV because of a scene that shows something that everyone knows and is nothing out of the ordinary. This reflects how sex and sexuality are often deemed inappropriate and censored, despite being a natural part of human existence.
The chorus, "Sexo! Como й que eu fico sem sexo!" translates to "Sex! How can I be without sex!" and expresses Leela's desire for sexual expression and liberation. She rebels against the societal norms and expectations that dictate what is deemed appropriate for public consumption, by openly expressing her desire for sex and questioning the censorship surrounding it.
In the second verse, Leela calls out the hypocrisy of those who claim to be protecting children from sexual content in media, but are blind to the violence and corruption that surrounds them in the real world. She questions who has the authority to decide what is appropriate for others to see and critically examines the distorted views of sexuality that are perpetuated in society.
Overall, "Sexo!" is a powerful statement on the importance of sexual expression and liberation, as well as a critique of societal norms and censorship.

For a women who prides herself on being strong and independent, she does lower her standards alot. Sleep with fry and zapp, more than once. Amy too.

Not quite. Fry is not about standards, it's mostly love. They have a thing together. And even tho sometimes it may destroy the universe, other times his stupidity makes her laugh, his words comfort her in the hard times. Now Zapp is quite inexcusable. The only thing I can think is she does to shut him up, is a sex maniac or maybe he somehow is really good in bed.
