New York, NY (Top40-Charts) �THE PENGUIN REVOLUTION knows how to throw a party. �Mixing genres in clever ways, they tell the continuing story of penguin Oscar Hamilton, who is after nothing short of world domination.� � This Week In New York
THE PENGUIN REVOLUTION started as the brain-child of then 16-year-old band founder Kevin McIntyre while visiting the aquarium at the zoo. �Kevin was appalled at the horrors he perceived of caged animal life, seeing them feeding on rotten fish and put on display for the public�s amusement. �He particularly empathized with one little penguin who looked so angry, Kevin thought he might break though the glass at any moment. �He nick-named the penguin Oscar Hamilton and the idea for THE PENGUIN REVOLUTION began. �
THE PENGUIN REVOLUTION officially formed in 2005 in Long Island, NY. �Their song lyrics tell the tale of Oscar Hamilton, leader and savior of the animals, who is arousing all the penguins and planning a massive revolt against the human race. �The band draws its musical inspiration from Tenacious D, Beastie Boys, George Clinton, Faith No More, and Medeski Martin and Wood. �While intelligently fusing funk, ska, reggae and heavy rock music, the group incorporates a plethora of instruments and personalities to create new and unique sounds. In addition to guitar, bass and drums, the ensemble includes trumpet, alto sax, trombone, and didgeridoo! �
Fans of THE PENGUIN REVOLUTION always look forward to their outrageous live performances. �There can be as many as 10 band members on stage, all joining together to make a joyful noise. �In addition to their funky get-ups, the group is always joined onstage by a life-size live �penguin� who oft times jumps into the audience to dance and body surf with the crowd.
