2008 was great 2009 will be sooo fine!

ladies and gentlemen,

winter is upon us. on sat. dec. 20th at 9pm, we will perform the final installment of our seasonal residency at Jalopy (315 Colombia St. Red Hook, BK) with the infamous Sugar Shack Burlesque Troop.  we are readying a very intimate showcase of acoustic music to warm you up.  the evening will consist of lots of hugs, whiskey, and christmas sweaters.  hope to see you there.

  also, we have finally confirmed that our sophomore record, "the difference", will be released and available in early 2009.  i will not reveal any dates yet, so not to upset anyone if things get changed.  

i predict that 2009 will be the year of PECULIAR GENTLEMEN.  the world will see and hear a lot of us, so have an extra pair of dancing shoes ready for when we come to your town and prepare to get loved right in your face!

I think it may be time for me to give a bit of insight on the concept behind the music of Peculiar Gentlemen.  one of the hardest things for us to do is describe what we sound like.  we've been labeled as "unclassifiable" and "genre defying", and we are exactly that.  the difficult thing is putting a label on the "style" of music we play.  you see, we are not innovators in the sense that we've created a new type of musical sound, but that we've created an atmosphere in which we can incorporate every and any existing style.  similar to bands like Ween or an artist like Beck, we pride ourselves on our versatility. 

it makes sense if you think about it.  in a world where major labels are crumbling, where going to the record store isn't necessary, and even where buying an entire album isn't the norm, music changes.  if any type of music you desire is available at the click of a button and there's probably only a song or two that you'll actually enjoy by a particular artist, why not try Peculiar Gentlemen?  we give it all to you.  Pop, rock, soul, R&B, reggae, hip-hop, country, all in one package.  we can be tongue-in-cheek or dead serious.  there's something for everyone and it's always fun.  if you still aren't sold, come to a show.  you may not love it all, but there's something in it you too!

we will be performing next at Jalopy in Red Hook, Brooklyn on Dec. 20th with the Sugarshack Burlesque for a special winter show.
