Swank Sinatra has come a long way since their humble beginnings in 2004. At first Swank Sinatra was merely the musical playground of two childhood friends (Bob Place and Brandon Pittman). The two spent many days in 2004-05 recording in a garage studio, churning out crazy and odd sounds that were the foundation of things to come.

After a few songs and music videos the duo decided that it was time to grow, as the time seemed right to take the sounds they were making to the stage. They persuaded some friends to join the ranks, and thus the first live line-up was born. Swank Sinatra played it's first live show on December 15th, 2005. After the success of their first show, the band went on a furious spree of shows; playing anytime, anywhere, just to get their name out. It seemed to be working.

In June of 2007, the band decided that it was time to record. They started working furiously with friend and producer Randy Garcia of The Nerd Parade, in what would soon become the band's first full-length album entitled: "Joseph Merrick Was A Handsome Man." .Swank Sinatra finally released the record to an anxious public on October 26th, 2007. Since the release of their debut LP, Swank Sinatra has enjoyed radio coverage up and down the east coast, national exposure from XM Sattelite Radio, as well as live TV performances for Comcast Digital Cable's On Demand. Swank Sinatra is also back in the studio working on a follow up EP called "Say No? Say Yes!" Due out in 2008. Swank Sinatra is determined to spread their message to you, will you listen?


THIS IS WHAT OTHERS SAY:

"Swank Sinatra's music is a combination of a wide range of styles and sounds
and is one of the most original bands I have ever come across.."
-Fire Angel Design Music Magazine Capetown, South Africa

"At the core of Atlanta's Swank Sinatra is a heavily
funkified rock/ R&B trio of musicians, loading things up with slap-happy
bass, primitive electronic samples and weird,
shouty vocal samples and effects."
-The Flagpole-Athens ,Georgia

"These guys just seem to do unabashed rock 'n' roll that rocks hard."
-Ohmpark.com-Atlanta, Georgia

"Atlanta’s Swank Sinatra plays over-the-top, in-your-face, guitar-driven rock ‘n’ roll.."
-SE Performer-Southeast US

"..Place and Pittman alternated and teamed up on their
strong vocals and witty, imaginative lyrics. Pittman also doubled up
duties by playing keyboards on several songs to add a spacey, mystical
ambiance to the set.."
-SE Performer-Southeast US

" .. Once Swank Sinatra finished their set I overheard
my friend Mike exclaim "I can't find my pants!" This appeared to be
the theme of the night. Mike doesn't wear his pants as low as Tay,
but I guess the extreme dancing that Swank inspired did the trick just the
same. I also remember Mike saying "I didn't know Charlotte could
MOVE like that!" .."
-Still Not Dead-Charlotte, North Carlina

"Swank Sinatra is neither swanky nor Sinatra, but they're damn good on stage."
-Creative Loafing-Atlanta, Georgia
