The Gin Pennies The Gin Pennies, the band Austin, TX The Gin Pennies play pop songs, no doubt about it, but enveloped by a gypsy outfit of percussive guitars, upright bass, violin and trumpet, there’s a unique slant to their forthcoming debut that sets it apart from the masses. If Lake Street Dive traveled back to 1920’s Paris and made a record with Django Reinhardt, it might sound something like The Gin Pennies. At the core, The Gin Pennies are an indie-pop band with a sensual female vocalist supported by a delightful gypsy band aesthetic. It’s an engaging mixture of era and vibe, where modern-day indie-pop meets a 1920s French juke joint...in Austin Texas.
