Heavy Petting (CD)
New York City's Best Dressed Two Man Band returns with a lively volume of new songs! Heavy Petting features eleven original compositions and one traditional Irish romp, all played with the Two Man Gentlemen Band's signature blend of sophisticated silliness. Performing with plectrum banjo, string bass, kazoos & snare drum, the gentlemen blend Vaudeviliian banjo strumming and bouncy swing rhythms with melodies that would've felt at home on Tin Pan Alley. The lyrics address the pressing issues of the day - unicycling, kazoo technique, prohibition, gentlemanliness, William Howard Taft, etc. - while striking the perfect gentlemanly balance between naughtiness and decorum. Recorded in old fashioned style - live to 2-inch tape - Heavy Petting captures the infectious energy of the Two Man Gentlemen Band's live show, which has wowed audiences across the country.
