<<Hi Moogy
- I was so glad I had
the opportunity to see The Peaceniks show at BB Kings in New York City.
It was such a great show. You have a passionate band who had
a great blend of harmonies and really sang and played well
together. The level of musicianship that was on the stage was
very impressive. I think everyone should give the Peaceniks a
listen. You truly portrayed
what your band's name says. Peace.
. Look forward to coming out and seeing
the Peaceniks
again! ........Laura>>
<<It was a fun show! The Peaceniks

<< Thanks Moogy,
the concert was fantastic. More Peaceniks! you know, that was really
good tonite. ...........Carol B.>>
The
Peaceniks are a rocking jamming band dedicated to peace, love,
great rockin' songs and a hippie jam vibe along the lines of the Dead,
Phish, the Allman Brothers and Gov't Mule (whom Peacenik Moogy use to
play with). Their songs are somewhere between the lyrical content of
early Bob Dylan, and the harmony sounds of the Beatles.
In the year since they have started playing and recording they have
done many shows, concerts and recently put out their first album, "Here
Comes the Peaceniks" on Band Together Records.
This
past September, The Peaceniks played at New York's premiere rock club,
BB King's. The concert on Sept. 9th, 2009 brought out hundreds of fans.
The Peaceniks opened the show and then backed up American Idol's
Sanjaya for a long set of his songs. In all, the Peaceniks performed
over thirty songs that night, either as Peaceniks or as Sanjaya's band.
Their skills as musicians were tested that night and they got an A plus
for their performances.
The
Peaceniks began writing and recording their songs for their first CD on
Band Together Records in the winter of 2008. Their album "Here Come the
Peaceniks" was released in the summer of 2009.
Over the summer of 2009 the Peaceniks held
court weekly at the hot Lower East Side music club owned by
Gavin Degraw, "The National Underground". Here, they played songs from
their new album and had a "Peaceniks Jam" that went on into
the night.
During the summer of 2009 the Peaceniks also performed at several
important peace concerts. Opening for Pete Seeger at the New York
Friends of Clearwater at Manhattan's Pier 23 in July of 2009. The
Peaceniks also opened for Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary)
at Universal Peace Day concert in August of 2009. The
Peaceniks started their career last summer, 2008 with an appearance at
Riverside Church for Universal Peace day, August 5th, 2008.
The
Peaceniks have also done several radio shows and concerts over
the last year. With two appearances on WOR radio's Joey
Renolds show performing their songs the summer of 2009. Joey
was so impressed that he invited them back. On WBAI 99.5 FM, they
recently did a two hour late nite concert on legendary free
form radio host, Bob Fass's radio show and also
recently appeared on WBAI's Cat Radio Cafe.

Hi Folks,
The audience response from our BB King's gig on
Sept. 9th, 2009 was great. People dug my band, the
Peaceniks and they also liked the way we backed up American Idol's
Sanjaya. It was a big nite. The Peaceniks opened the show with 8 songs
and then we did 20 more songs backing up Sanjaya! And Sanjaya covered
the great American songbook of rock, jazz, blues and R & B. It
was a three hour show with three sets of different material.
All power to the peaceful,
Moogy
Here
