Two-man voodoo blues and dirty jazz band The Peculiar Pretzelmen play The Terminal Bar on a 13-date October tour.
The Peculiar Pretzelmen play The Terminal Bar on Monday, October 19, starting at 8 PM. They're a two-man voodoo mayhem band from Los Angeles, and the Minneapolis date is one stop on a 13-date tour across 12 cities that runs from October 17 to 31.
They describe themselves as Los Angeles' pre-eminent voodoo priests of swampy blues stomp and dirty jazz freakout. It's a wide net to cast, and the sound they pull in reflects that: garage, rock, acid folk, jam bands, vaudeville blues, cabaret, doom metal, film music, and straight-up metal. It's a lot of ground for two people to cover in one set, and the voodoo framing is the thread that holds it together.
That eclectic streak shows in who they've shared stages with. They've played with The Tiger Lillies, The Dresden Dolls, Gogol Bordello, and The Devil Makes Three — all acts that lean into their own specific, theatrical corners of the musical map. If you're familiar with any of those names, you've got a good sense of the kind of room they fit into.
