   About The Kleptones
.. ..

The Kleptones understand that recycling musical styles is a pop tradition that's older than the blues.

But times have changed.

Never before has a band taken as many chances in the studio as The Kleptones. These guys are apparently very sensitive. Then again, we wouldn't have it any other way. Most of the time, The Kleptones can't shake their reputation. Call it a tragical history tour.

There's plenty of lyrical mumbo-jumbo about the group confronting its demons and pretending to be a pirate.

Underneath their antics lies a compelling artistic maturity that reveals how they have grown since they were young punks. Imagine the aching walls of sound of Bob Seger's "Night Moves" grafted, as if by a mad scientist from the bayou, to the crass hip-hop assault of the No Limit Tank Soldiers, and you haven't even come close.

Their sonic assault has made them the heroes of a whole new generation. Does anyone over the age of 15 like this stuff?

The Kleptones is not so much a band, but an exercise in marketing. Do these guys really need more money? I liked it better when it was called "Pearl Jam's Greatest Hits".

please re-post the 24 hours EPs - I am a recent converter to kleptonetology and think that 24 Hours is the greatest!

Please do something along those lines in the near future!!!

Hi friends! Great to have found you. I have recently listen to "A night at the hip-hopera" and I was really impressed by your hard working and the results! Very interesting and original mixes.

We have just released our first instrumental album two months ago. I hope you like our music too.

Greetings from the north of Spain.

Dear Eric and Co,
Been a big fan of yours for quite some time now...and now I'm putting together this MySpace thing. Would love to have your permission to play War of Confusion on my flashplayer. Ages ago, my thesis was on synchronicity...now, many years, later the great mash-up artists of our time dove-tail in nicely to how my universe works...and you guys seem to have your knob-twiddling fingers on the pulse of that social/musicological phenomenom more so than anyone else. Thanks for helping to nudge us to our destiny just that much more wonderously.
