Drum and bugle corps meets New Orleans, rock meets ska meets funk. Quirky, loud, and heavy on the vocals, they look and sound more like a marching brand than a brass band as we know it (due in large part to their military band uniforms and their choice of percussion instruments). Their vocal songs feature Cab Calloway-like shouts from the band (or think Squirrel Nut Zippers), and their darker instrumental pieces are not unlike something we'd hear from Richmond's own No BS! Brass.</p><p>[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOBF8zp6uQ[/youtube]</p><p>They played last week at Broad Appetit and return on Friday to play The Triple with Palominos.
