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.
