Thee L.A. Gentlemen Callers

Rock n' Roll Blood Brothers

About Me

Rock and Roll is our gimmick and our lineup on any given night may include former or current members of Qui, The Hangmen, The Starvations, or even Guzzard. The following is a partial list of bands we've played with that we like: The Circle Jerks, 400 Blows, Sirhan Sirhan, Tsk Tsk, Nantucket Suicide, Burning Brides, The Starlite Desperation, Viva K, Fortune´s Flesh, The Stitches, The Heartaches, The Widows, Vagrant Vinny and the Instigators, Crystal Antlers, The Red Onions, The Makes Nice, Qui, Monsters Are Waiting, Horses, Wiskey Biscuit, The Ravens, Mosquito Bandito, Boll Weevil, The Checkers, Immortal Lee County Killers, Shakey Mallard, Buffy Swayze, Jessie Deluxe. With influences ranging from the song craft of Paul Weller, Robert Pollard, and Uncle Tupelo to the bombast of Jawbreaker and Dinosaur Jr., Thee L.A. Gentlemen Callers carry the torch of rock and roll with a beer soaked intensity not felt since the days when the Replacements stole your heart. Thee Callers' newest effort, a 5 song e.p entitled "The Kindness Of Strangers" was recorded at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL and produced by Manny Nieto, known to those in the know as frontman for the mighty Distortion Felix. Manny has recorded Mars Volta, the Breeders, Darker My Love, among a big roster of great L.A. bands. It was mastered by Mark Chalecki at Capitol Mastering. Three of the four songs on this page are from this recording, as well as a video for a fourth if you click on the video chingadera. Anyone interested in an enhanced copy of it which includes the video for "Stab, Shoot, And Disappear", please contact us directly. Our first record, "Whenever Wheneverland" can be purchased online by clicking on the link below. Special thanks to Kat Corbett at KROQ, Mark Sovel at Indie 103.1 and Monica at KSLG for getting us on the airwaves!.. -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for THEE L.A. GENTLEMEN CALLERS: Whenever Wheneverland --
