Peculiar Gentlemen, the unlikely duo of folk/rock guitarist "Sweet” Willy Jive and hip hop/dance influenced keyboardist E-Beats, have hit full stride with their sophomore album The Difference.
This time, backed by a full band and three flavorful vocalists, Peculiar Gentlemen have compiled what may very well be the ultimate road-trip soundtrack comprised entirely of original music.
Tear into the open road with the raw New York rock anthem, "Nasty", before cruising through the enthusiastic sentiment of “Tape Machine” and coasting into the blues of love lost along the way in “Goodnight Kiss”.
Through clever lyrics, infectious rhythm, old-school soul and an extraordinary sense of humor, Peculiar Gentlemen move through genres with effortless ease. Their joy of live performance translates seamlessly to this fully self-produced album, due out in 2009.
Peculiar Gentlemen's fresh sound and energy have breathed much needed life into New York's indie scene at such venues as The Knitting Factory, Southpaw, Jalopy, and Crash Mansion.
thanks for the add!!!

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
