   About THE MAKESHIFT GENTLEMEN
Saint Louis quartet, The Makeshift Gentlemen, exists for the sole purpose of causing severe dehydration, rocking off the faces of unsuspecting onlookers, and breaking any windows within earshot of their music (seriously happened once). The Riverfront Times describes them as "Shiny, Neon Synth Punk" or "Goth-Pop Nu-Wave Rock", personally, they just like to have lots of fun.

Finally returning from their Disney World internships in Orlando, they dominated the stage with such acts as the Ataris, Tigercity, and Innerpartysystem. Home at last, they are fully prepared to dance the hell out of you, Kevin Bacon, and everyone else in footloose. So strap on your dancing shoes and try to get a leg up on the competition by grabbing a copy of The Makeshift Gentlemen's freshman release "Casanova". Available on CD baby and itunes now.
