Russell Jonathan Leetch (born 5 March 1982) is an English bass guitarist who plays with Birmingham-based indie rock band Editors. He studied music technology at Staffordshire University where he met his fellow Editors band members. He went to secondary school at Arden School, Knowle.
He used to work with bandmate Tom Smith in a call centre before the band got a record deal. His favourite bands are Radiohead and Spiritualized.[1][2]
In February 2008, Leetch remixed The Hives single "T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.", where it featured as a b-side on the single.[3] He also directed the video to the Editors single "Bones" which was released in Europe.[4]
