live at williams college. wow omg wow the timbale player freaked my freaking brain. some mind blowing fluting and an afro-cuban maple leaf rag. a very exciting hour and a half for me. many moments i wished i was dancing. bought a cd and he signed it, thank you zaccai curtis and thank you isabel for dinner
12 of the tightest musicians ever playing high-energy music for an hour-plus. Everyone who was physically capable of dancing was. Shoutout to opener Sam Shalabi who played some beautiful improvised oud music to get the party started.
i saw them last week and it was mind-blowing showmanship teetering performance art. also jorge elbretch joined in on guitar which ruled. thick crazy bass & big vocals - blends 80s sounds of siouxsie and the banshees, yello, and gang of four
crraaazzzzzyyyyyy. picture the kind of music a circus run by pirates would listen to. insane brass section, and all of them clearly just absolutely love playing music & performing together. if u can see them live please please please do not let urself miss the opportunity!!!! these sketches don’t remotely capture their chaos and raucousness, but it’s all i managed to achieve before i had to get up and dance
when they tell you they’re in love and their roots are intertwined under the ground, you can throw a wedding for trees. they have the most beautiful vows
