About Me

Deuce is: Independent Chicago Funk.

Patrick Knibbs: percussion/vocals
Matt Arendt: guitar/vocals
Mike Hallagan: keys
Peter Varey: drums
Nate Bellon: bass/vocals
It's hard to sum up exactly what and how Deuce came about. From what we've gathered through scrolls and ancient text, we know that it was the hot summer of 1998 when Deuce was born. It was at that time when Mr. Kerr and Mr. Knibbs, along with several other South Side musicians, laid the foundation of what we now know as Deuce.
After enlisting the help of Mr. Arendt, Mr. Hallagan, Mr. Varey, and Nate/Romel – rumors have surfaced that the band sold their soul's to the Robot Devil (yes, there is such a thing) in return for massive funktacular skills. These skills, which the classy gents have been honing and sharpening with each passing gig, have led to uncontrollable freekouts when the group plays live. WARNING: Their neo-funk party anthems will erupt into massive body movement, so the band suggests a proper stretch before the show!
