Bio
It began in a basement, and it'll probably end in a hail of gunfire. Swindling Gypsies are scattered throughout central New Jersey (granted, there's not much room to scatter), convening from time to time to make music.
Midnight Electric drummer Francis "Slugs McKenzie" Valentino and former Furthur guitarist Dan Gagliardi started Gypsies in Fall 2008 when they recorded the rough track that became "The One". A couple of months later, recording resumed, and the canon of tunes flourished
In March 2009, Dan swindled Grant Butts, his former Furthur cohort, into playing lead guitar.
Soon after, Midnight Electric keyboardist and bassist Mark Masefield and Ryan Wheeler (respectively) stepped in to do their share of Swindling, adding a much-needed dynamic and low end to what was, up to that point, exclusively guitar- and wacky, processed percussion-driven music.
The rest, as they say, is the Future.
