TWO MAN GENTLEMEN BAND
[Americana / Acoustic / Swing]
+ BRIAN GROSZ
[Indie / Acoustic / Ghettotech]
|
The Two Man
Gentlemen Band
 |
“They’ve got charisma, energy, and kazoos,
and they definitely have fun up there, with compositions that are
little bit dorky and a little bit dirty.”
- AM New York
“Think of them as a mix between Squirrel
Nut Zippers and They Might be Giants. I played their new CD while
cleaning the house last weekend, and it was spotless in record time.”
- USA Today
“Creating a buzz… the vaudevillian, comic,
banjo, and kazoo playing duo [is] not as innocent as it might seem.”
- The Boston Globe
“The Two Man Gentlemen Band is one of the
best new groups coming out of the East Coast old timey scene. Heavy
Petting is romping, outstanding fun. It plays like a party.”
- About.com
“One of the funniest albums I’ve listened
to in a long time. Andy Bean writes lyrics so off the beaten path,
they are virtually cliche free. The Two Man Gentlemen Band should go
down as the duo who made kazoo hip again.”
- Bluegrass Journal |

JAMBANG +
GREG GINN and the TAYLOR TEXAS CORRUGATORS
|
|
|
Gregory Regis Ginn (born June 8, 1954)
is a guitarist,
songwriter and singer and singer. He is best known for being
the leader of and primary songwriter for the hardcore punk band Black
Flag, which he founded and led from 1976 to 1986.
Since breaking
up Black Flag, Ginn has recorded a few
solo albums, and
has performed with the bands
HOR,
Fastgato,
The October Faction,
Gone,
Confront James,
EL BAD,
Mojack, The
Texas Corrugators, Jambang, and he also played bass with
Tom Troccoli's Dog.
He also owns the
Texas-based,
independent
record label,
SST,
originally begun as an electronics company called Solid State
Transmitters when he was a teenager in
Long Beach, California.
He remains very active in music; in a recent interview he states he
still performs "about six nights a week." This is similar to how he
was with Black Flag; with them he was very strict about practicing and
would practice for up to 7 hours a day, 6 days a week according to
Henry Rollins.
Black
Flag singer
Henry Rollins has compared Ginn's playing style to that of
free jazz
saxophonists
Ornette Coleman
and
Eric Dolphy
rather than to other guitarists. Ginn is an avid
jazz fan,
stating he generally prefers music by saxophone or piano players.
One
review of Black Flag's
Slip It In
(1984) notes that Ginn's "playing was becoming increasingly
avant-garde
and exciting. Rather than simply coughing up one clichéd solo after
another, he wandered
harmolodically
up and down the fretboard as a jazz player like
Blood Ulmer
would, making the material more interesting than what most Black
Flag-influenced bands were playing."
Ginn
made it to 99th on
Rolling Stone's
list of "The 100
Greatest Guitarists of All Time"
