Come Friday, The Duke will add another candle to his cake. And since I haven't done a theme week on The Late Greats for a while, I'll throw down a week's worth of birthday themed posts. There are two things I would like for my birthday, and both are represented on the track below: A Tenor Guitar and chocolate milk. Listen: The Two Man Gentleman Band ∞ Chocolate Milk
As is the custom around here, with there being TEN Mondays left in 2010, I'll be looking back at my 10 favorite albums from the year in reverse alphabetical order. First up: Everyone's favorite old-time vaudeville act from Brooklyn. I wrote a small bit here about the album. The more I listen, the more I like it. 13 songs, 33 minutes of pure enjoyment. Listen: The Two Man Gentleman Band ∞ Me. I Get High on Reefer
neues von serious business records ! und zwar wird das sechste album von the two man gentlemen band angeprangert! wer kann sich nicht noch an das ausdauernde "william howard taft" erinnern, das quasi aushängeschild und beschreibung der musik des beeindruckenden duos andy bean (tenor guitar & vocals) und fuller condon (string bass & vocals) zugleich ist. hot jazz, rhythm & blues, vaudeville und old fashioned. zwischen leichtherzigkeit und unbedingtheit, zwischen schwung und gezielter befeuerung, rau und wild, ungestüm und fidel! nachdem sie in 2010 bereits mit ihrem livealbum "live in new york" antraten (auf ihren touren begegneten [...]
The Duke digs The Two Man. I saw them twice at Musikfest back in August - just a few weeks before they released their new album - ¡Dos Amigos, Una Fiesta! They are a treat to see live for many reasons: a) Funny stage presence b) Excellent musicianship c) Clever, innuendo-filled lyrics d) Crowd participation The new album is the prefect way to ease back into the workweek after three days off. From the slightly sexual opening number (Gentle Stomp) to a superb album-ender (Wine, Oh Wine). And don't forget [...]
End of summer doldrums leaves slim pickens in the new release shelf. School's starting up, though, and the debut from the Jenny Lewis/Johnathan Rice collaboration (Jenny & Johnny) has a kind of high school rebellion/innocence to it, while Yo Gabba Gabba covers the preschool/elementary angle (and, more importantly, the parents). Other releases worth mentioning are the latest from The Weepies, My Morning Jacket's Carl Broemel, Radiohead's Philip Selway, Film School, Richard Thompson and an EP from Anthony and the Johnsons.

Liquid Cavities: Monday Mail What is Monday Mail? Something about the end of summer really brings out my extreme sugar cravings. Thus, I am happy to announce Sweets Week here at OSS. I'll be focusing on songs about or by bands that take their names from delicious things. First up: everyone's favorite tasty beverage, chocolate milk. Serious Business Records says: The Two Man Gentlemen Band's hot, raucous, old-time Vaudevillian sound has made them [...]
The good news is this is the last week of new releases before Labor Day, which means it is (hopefully) the last poor release week until November-ish. The bad news we still have to make it through this week and some really poor records. Good luck! Who: The Clientele Title: Minotaur Label: Merge Records Thoughts:... Read More

We bring this festive week to an end with one of my all-time favorite Musikfest acts: The Two Man Gentlemen Band . There are two reasons to celebrate their appearance this year: they go from the Main Street Stage (small time) to the Liederplatz (BIG TIME) AND on August 31st, they'll be releasing a new album called "Dos Amigos Una Fiesta". The Two Man play an engaging blend of old-time, vaudeville and sing-a-long songs, complete with quick wit and innuendo. Listen: The Two Man Gentlemen Band ∞ Fancy Beer

[ via ] Well the first full week of the new year has certainly brought its fair share of excellent music. In fact, I've got a bit of a backup already. I'll need to do plenty of stretches so I don't throw my back out getting all these treats online. Serious Business Records has released their annual compilation for free download . I always enjoy compilations because they alert me to bands I'd probably otherwise miss. Take, for instance, The [...]

If you have been following along with my year end countdown, you know I loved The Two Man Gentlemen Band album. They are releasing a live album early next year. Looking forward to it, as I think the Two Man are a stupendous live group. Listen: The Two Man Gentlemen Band ∞ Me I Get High On Reefer
