Hung...you didn't mention Hungry March from NYC!<br />Hungry March and Extra Action are the originators. March Fourth is the 3rd generation, the mainstream commercial version, they auditioned for "America's Got Talent." They took something different and made it normal, you can't call indie marching bands alternative now that there's a burningman/cirque de solieil-esque one in every town. Now that the markets cluttered the actual weirdo originals can't afford to tour(or so i hear, maybe they are just old and lazy now but they haven't made it to my town in 8 years) i miss the old days :"(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-54264628809391546192011-03-25T13:27:48.688-07:002011-03-25T13:27:48.688-07:00Thanks for the tips, guys.

Europe's brass band tradition isn't exactly like the American marching band, is it? Do they march?<br /><br />Checking out that Denver sounds now. That itchy-O stuff's crazy. Really sounds nothing like marching band music. Cool videos for Boba Fett and the Americans but unfortunately they don't seem to have any mp3s or albums available...Mr Fabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15116623844291424658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-24708009904334037022011-03-24T18:40:12.808-07:002011-03-24T18:40:12.808-07:00There are some pretty awesome/weird marching bands...There are some pretty awesome/weird marching bands in Denver. Boba Fett and the Americans is an awesome band that shows up unexpectedly does funny covers. I saw them crash one of those 'open nights' at an art museum. Priceless. There's a hilarious video of them busting in on a Fox News broadcast on Youtube. There's also a band called itchy-O that pushes the marching band paradigm further than maybe any other example I've seen. Go dig their music (myspace/itchyo) and then try to imagine it being performed by a marching band. I saw them at a house party and they file in the front door dressed like some kind of space-age ninja mariachi band and then wander all over the house while playing. It's LOUD and bizarre, definitely one of the more Maniacal bands around these parts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740384.post-76366134849347746852011-03-11T13:52:31.557-08:002011-03-11T13:52:31.557-08:00Blaas of Glory is a good one from Europe.
