The Gentlemen's Club

About Me

"The Gentlemens Club" is an alternative/ska/lounge-punk band from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Comprised of four members with varied musical backgrounds, "The Gentlemens Club" manages to provide a mix of musical styles and sounds covering a broad range of tastes.

On vocals, Lorissa Fontes lights up the stage with unique vocal techniques and thrilling presence. On guitar, Mark Simon performs complicated chord progressions and inventive solos that perfectly compliment Lorissa's intense vocals. On bass, Andre Furlong provides funky rhythms and heart-stopping fills that fluidly connect melody and rhythm. On drums, Joe Grant mixes precision fills with catchy beats to flesh out "The Gentlemen's Club" sound and complete the ensemble.

"The Gentlemen's Club" is an up and coming band with the potential and drive to go far. Keep an eye out for us, and check back for updates!
