"John Prine, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Ian Dury, Blur, Cohen, Hank Williams, The Kinks, Leadbelly, The Bonzo Dogs and of course The Beatles and Dylan! Whenever anyone asks that question, we hate it when people reply everything or very eclectic, so we'll try and tell you the truth, basically it doesnt matter what style of music it is, as long as there is feeling and an original idea behind it".
They've been seen as folks answer to the White Stripes and described as The Pussycat Dolls meets Nick Drake but thankfully for all their talent, Pierre Vincent and Bessie Sayce are about as far from being diva's in the making as you could hope to find.
Giving up the comfort of a rented home for a life on the road, living out of their winnebago has sown the seeds for some fine adventures. With plenty of skill and bucketful's of charm, it isn't any wonder that THE DEALERS have achieved the accolades that they have in such a short period of time. Winning the first ever Rochester Sweeps Folk competition and awarded Best Unsigned Acoustic Act In Britain (PLAYMUSIC Magazine) THE DEALERS have recieved airplay on radio stations across the UK, USA and Australia and had a song added to Neil Young's Living With War Website all in the space of two years.
The Dealers are now organizing a tour of the US to commence late 2009
Pierre's Dlyan-esque guise is a perfect foil to Bessie's gothic-inspired image, she wouldn't look out of place in a Gwen Stefani video. Their self-penned self-financed albums are driven by acoustic guitar but ring with the spirit of classic English pop, disregarding what's expected from acoustic music.
Glad your still listening, were all still making music, (Check out our top 5 friends) but haven't done anything together for nearly 10 years. Still, never say never, I really love your music, Glenn told be about you. 'Wodering', that song is beautiful,
