Comfort Music, Concert Review >>

I got a chance to see MarchFourth Marching Band over the weekend, and was completely enamored of their blazing, kickass funk. It was the kind of funk that you could only really get by deploying five drummers (including a dedicated cymbal player), six horn players, and a powerfully grooving bass player who got the opportunity to strut around the center of the stage like a lead geetar player given that everyone else in the band was trapped behind their instrument mics. Admittedly this new studio album, Rise Up, fails to transmit some of the other essential glories of the band - the alluring majorette squad, the death-defying stilt-walkers, the five-foot tall cowbell(!) - but this music remains an obvious force for Good Times all the same. ("Nightmarika" is presented in anticipation of Halloween, natch.) 10/19/09 >> go there
