The Gentlemen’s Anti-Temperance League is a swing sextet from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The GATL came together in the winter of 2014 to breathe new life into old music. A melting pot of hot jazz, swing, and latin rhythms, brought to a boil by soaring vocals and endless energy. Their second album, “Masquerade” was released on June 3rd, 2017. GATL’s second full-length album is a masterful mix of old-time hot jazz and latin rhythms, held together by modern songwriting and layered stories.
“The Gentlemen’s Anti-Temperance League take things all the way back to the 1930s with their Django Reinhardt-influenced gypsy jazz, and they do it damn well.”
-Andrea Swensson, The Current
“… takes the best style of music from each decade after Prohibition and creates a unique musical style.”
-CBS Minnesota
“Some would call it “old-timey,” while others would argue “timeless.’’ -Duluth Homegrown

The female performing artist has long been objectified, controlled, censored, restrained. This is what Lexi Weege refuses to be. Her music is passionate, alive, awakened; the narrative of a woman unashamed of her desires and unafraid to seize control. Weege conjures up decadent scenes of the roaring twenties with her stellar voice and jazz-influenced compositions. Constantly touring, performing, and creating, Lexi Weege has released a full-length album [Virgin, 2013] and more recently, “Sweet Moon”, a ‘7 record, both recorded live to tape. Weege’s insistence on analogue recording is evidence of her passion for authenticity in her music. “With the confidence to throw her all into the circus ring of theatricality, Lexi Weege stamps the mark of a true performer.
