SUMMARY:Dance Your Brass Off ⏤ Mardi Gras Celebration ft. Brass Messengers\, McNasty Brass Band\, and BrassZilla at Turf Club
DESCRIPTION:This show is taking place in both the Turf Club and Clown Lounge. Be sure to check out the Mardi Gras celebrations and bands playing on BOTH stages! And sponsored by Jazz88! \nThe Brass Messengers are a Minneapolis street band playing mostly original music inspired by global sources. The BMs formed from the annual rubble of the Heart of the Beast Mayday Parade and Ceremony in Minneapolis.  The musical origins were found in the music of Africa\, the Carribean and Balkans\, but now the BMs play whatever works\, throwing in a country song to the crying drinkers\, a high speed polka or two for the midwest dancers\, running in circles with the little ones\, activating gatherings of our activist kin or a bit of Black Sabbath for the metal crowd. But mostly\, it is original music that rises from the heart of the band that can only be described as a homegrown Minneapolis street music sound. \nBased in the Twin Cities\, MN\, McNasty Brass Band brings the Minneapolis sound to new territory by combining the spirit of New Orleans with elements of Prince\, old school funk\, and a splash of R&B. Since their debut EP release Southside Fridays in early 2015\, the McNasty Brass Band has been continuously writing music to push the limit of what a fully acoustic dance band can do. It’s their raw\, organic brass sound that makes the music so infectious. A reckless\, ten-piece megazord of horns and drums\, McNasty Brass Band can blow the walls off a house party\, march down the streets of a parade\, or own the stage with the confidence of a well-oiled groove machine. \nWhether it’s happening in a theater\, in a roadhouse\, or by the side of the road\, BrassZilla will deliver its hip-shakin’ beer jazz. Something that’s a little chilly and a little hot and makes the head start to move with a certain kind of groove. Something that everyone needs. BrassZilla was founded in 2011 as a way for three horn players to explore their love of jazz\, funk\, blues\, and other genres while touring with the Minneapolis rock band Chooglin’. That exploration led to the addition of drummer Andy Deckard and produced original compositions that defy typical notions of genre or style.
