Troop 47

Music you can chew on and dance to.

About Me


VH1 called Troop 47 New Yorks undiscovered genius. For 18 months the network hired a production crew to follow the band, capture every thought by way of personal confessionals, and film the gigswith the ultimate enticement of landing Troop 47 a record deal and airing the chronicles on a reality TV show.
VH1 then decided to not air the show. We were disappointed at first, says lead singer Frankie Gabriel. But then we realized that it would only make us a stronger. And stronger they are. Troop 47 just put out their third self-release, Remains of the Radio, that displays their blended style of pop rock with a 70s vibe. The band are also preparing to hit the road starting Spring 04, showing why local critics have defined them as the band that captures the crowd every show.
And capture they do. Lead singer Frankie Gabriel flails about the stage like a slippery fish out of water. The crowd loves Frankie, or they love to hate him. Either way he carries enough charisma for 10 bands, andlove him or hate himpeople cannot take their eyes off of him.
Troops 47 formed four years ago and since have caught the ears of music notables:
Worked with studio greats such as Joe Blaney (The Clash, Blues Traveler, Keith Richards), U.E. Nastasi (Metallica, Wu Tang Clan), Emily Lazzar (David Bowie, Third Eye Blind, TLC), Jim Sabella (Marcy Playground, Public Enemy)
Performed with Rusted Root, Rat Dog, Antigone Rising.
Played the Sopranos James Gandolfinis annual restaurant opening celebration in Oneonta, New York.
As Troop 47 re-groups after the VH1 episode theyll be taking their music on the road. This is the band. This is the sound.

"I found a band with a sense of music as communication. I watched as they drew the entire venue into a mesmerizing groove. The vocal emotions produced explosions and whispers and the crowd followed as if on a giant roller coaster. Troop 47 is a band for anyone who listens to the inner vibrations that good music brings on. Keep them on your radar..."
