That group is an off-shoot of some "Honk!" Bands (that I noted a few days ago.) If you search on Hungry March Band of New York City you will find more of them. HMB actually makes pretty good money playing for a variety of events in the area.

ensemble that performed at the atrium on Thursday evening, embraces 
all those styles and more. Among the pieces in its set were 
arrangements (mostly its own) of songs by Bjork and the Swedish art-
