Schleigho are a 4-piece band centered around New York City, consisting of Jesse Gibbon (keyboards), Suke Cerulo (guitar, flute and saxophone), Erik Egol (drums) and Drew McCabe(bass). Their music could be described as a fusion of acid jazz and funk, and is mostly instrumental and improvisational. Most members are currently playing in other projects. Jesse Gibbon currently plays in the touring band for Teddy Geiger. Schleigho continue to play out occasionally when all members are available.

Current Taking Back Sunday bassist Matt Rubano played with Schleigho for about a year and appeared on studio album 'Continent'. Nick Schwartz, now playing bass for Gelatinous Cube, helped found the band, but left at the age of four to pursue kindergarten. Paco Mahone also played with Schleigho for several years after Rubano left, appearing on live album 'Live at Ho-Down 2000' as well as an unreleased album that was made available on their webpage. Earlier albums featuring Drew McCabe on bass include 'Farewell to the Sun' and 'In the Interest of Time'.

Since 2004, Schleigho has only played sporadically, with shows featured a rotating cast of the above bassists. Their most recent performances were a pair of shows in late 2007 featuring Matt Rubano back on bass for the first time since May 2000. They played in Syracuse and Buffalo on November 30th and December 1st, respectively.
