EXTRAS NEEDED!

Hello friends!

We are shooting a music video for the band Peculiar Gentlemen and are in need of your presence.

There is a “party scene” that needs to have people dancing around or just hanging out in the background. The video is suppose to take place in the 1940's, so to keep this as convincing as possible, we request you try to bring a costume. It's a fun costume and will make for a fun time, we really hope you can make it.

Here are the details:

Men - Cotton pants or overalls, button down collar shirt, vests, bow tie or regular tie, suspenders, old style hats.

Women - Long dresses, floral patters, skirts above the waist with tucked in button down blouse. Shoes with short white socks. Hair tied up.

When: Saturday, August 29th, 5:00pm.

Where: Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, NY (reply for exact address)

Duration: 4 hours (party included)

Please don’t hesitate to call with questions:

Thank You!!!!

time has come

after 3 years,  11 months, 38 days, and way too many hours to count, Peculiar Gentlemen are releasing their second album.  it is titled, "The Difference", has 14 brand new tracks, and features a variety of different musical genres (as only peculiar gentlemen can do).  

our "Unofficial Record Release Party" will be on Friday, February 27th at Southpaw in Park Slope, Brooklyn.  Doors open at 8pm and there is a $10 cover.  

the first band of the night is Badman.  a very dark, blues, rock band, from Rhode Island.  they are also featured musicians on our forthcoming record.  

the next band will be She Keeps Bees.  a blues, rock duet from Brooklyn.  She Keeps Bees' lead singer Jessica Larabee, was a featured performer on our first record, "Full Paw Special", and will also be featured on this one.  thank you Jess!

the third band will be Demander.  a super fun rock band from New York.  PG's frontman/piano player, E-Beats has been a guest performer on a few of Demander's newest singles.

and then there is us!  we will be performing a very special set, with very special guests, for a very special audience, that will include, most importantly, YOU!

and let's not forget this will be the first time that you will be able to purchase the brand new Peculiar Gentlemen record, "The Difference".

so, get ready for a long night of great music, drinking, dancing, laughing and fun!!!

see you there,

a post for the sake of posting a post

hello my friends,

i guess this is what meteorologist's call "the calm before the storm."  everything is seemingly pretty quiet in our worlds.  just putting the finishing touches on the new record.  our unofficial record release party will be on friday, february 27th at southpaw in park slope, brooklyn.  we are planning (as you could imagine) an incredible show, with incredible bands.  more on that soon. 

we will have Seth Johnson of Northern State taking over for drums for a few months, while Steve Bryant is on tour with another project.  

we are also creating a bit of a presence on youtube.  we have a few clips up right now and a few more on the way. please check them out.  your comments are always encouraged.

i guess that's all for now,

until next time,

willy jive
