#3687: Alt-Marching Bands & Other Brass
There's brass band music, marching band music, and “freak” marching band on this show - an anytime party. New Sounds is treated to a session recorded with the Chicago-based circus punk beast, Mucca Pazza. "The hardest smelling band in show business, Mucca Pazza (“mad cow”) is a sight to be heard." (Seriously, their Bandcamp says!) They are truly a spectacle. Listen to their set performed in our studio that Soundcheck couldn’t fit on that podcast.
Also, listen to music from the Brooklyn-based Punjabi brass dance band, Red Baraat, who just tore it up at Brooklyn Bowl the other night. Always infectious, and ever-evolving, there’s traces of Qawwali trance, brass funk, jazz, go-go, and hip-hop. Another sight to be heard!
Not to be outdone, there’s music from the French klezmer Balkan swing band La Fanfare Couche-Tard, whose name translates to “Night Owl Band" or literally "goes-to-bed-late band." Plus, hear from the Brooklyn outfit, Breakdown Brass Band, who bring the Afro-funk and Balkan Brass party, and share members with Antibalas, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, & Slavic Soul Party, among others. That, and more!
