The Return of Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees The Dirty Pearls, The Peculiar Pretzelmen November 12, 2010

Tragedy return to conquer Brooklyn Bowl, this is their LAST SHOW EVER, so its your last chance to be rocked by the most devastating sounds of TRAGEDY.

The Peculiar Pretzelmen

“Picture what could be described as double-barreled folk music with a pitch-black playfulness and highly unusual instrumentation, consisting of banjo/mandocello/ukulele, baritone sax, and percussion that is less drum kit, and more spoils of an old man's work bench. To witness The Peculiar Pretzelmen in a live setting, you'll find their peculiar brew equal parts barn-burning gospel revival and punk rock (read: more Screamin' Jay Hawkins than Johnny Rotten),
with a spirit both terrifying and simultaneously life-affirming,
the yin to the yang of a carnival spookhouse someplace
miles away from nowhere you've ever been.”
-Dr. Rando, Music Review - Broklyn, NY

“This debut is one of the best albums (Tom) Waits never made.”
-UK’s Bizarre Magazine on Pretzelmen’s first album: Uncanny Eyes

“ Imagine if you will, Tom Waits meets the ghost of Spike Jones in some deep-south cemetery. In his 1930′s era step-side pickup truck he has a trash can with lid, some chains, buckets, skillets, a washboard, kid whistles, an accordion, a saw, banjo and an old guitar. They light some candles, and maybe a couple kerosene lamps and evoke a nightmare circus dance of the dead to rattle the bones of the living.”
-Paul Hupert, Music Review - Albany, OR
