[Dixielandjazz] A somewhat OKOM tangent in a rock magazine!

[David Richoux]

Hi all,

For those who follow the recent trends in "Street Brass" - bands from  
all over the world that combine bits of things like New Orleans Brass  
Bands, Eastern European brass, radical performance art and vaudeville/ 
clown goofery, there is a new article in the Feb 2006 issue of Spin  
magazine of interest. The 4 page article "Blood on the Sousaphone" is  
mostly about San Francisco's "Extra-Action Marching Band" and New  
York's "Hungry Marching Band."  Many pictures and some interesting  
writing by Caryn Ganz.

Lots of young folks having a lot of fun (or a bunch of crazy young  
punks totally destroying the image of working brass & percussion  
musicians - depending on your point of view ;-)

This is a print magazine, but there might be an on-line version of  
the article some time in the future at www.spin.com
