Mar 21 2005
Maranatha! group, Peculiar People Band, is preparing for the release of their debut album and first national tour. The rock/worship album titled Not Ashamed will be in-stores on March 22nd.

A series of fortunate events led one of South Africa’s most successful rock groups to the U.S. in hopes of sharing their music with new fans across the country. Cape Town’s SAMA (South African Music Awards)-nominated Peculiar People Band, who’ve landed two Top 10 songs on South African mainstream pop radio, say that things “just kind of snow-balled” for them. After achieving wide-spread popularity in South Africa, they now find themselves preparing for not only their first U.S. release, but a seven month tour promoting their new CD.

Not Ashamed, produced by Phil Sillas (Plus One) and Ralph Stover (Michael Miller), continues to meld the band’s rapidly maturing modern rock sound with worshipful, straightforward lyrics. Their first single, “Can I Leave My Head,” hits Rock radio on March 28th.
