3rd: Stagger Back Brass Band (12:30)
Comprised of members of New York’s finest subcultural marching band, Hungry March Band
Melding brass traditions from the Americas and Europe into one very fun voice, this 7-piece band mixes original compositions for a nonexistent clown circus with a couple of waltzes, at least one Gershwin tune, and slices of Balkan inspired funk. With Patrick Farrell- accordion and alto horn, Greg Squared- reeds, JR Hankins- trumpet and darabuka, Don Godwin- tenor horn, Joe Tuba- bass horn, Michele Hardesty- bass drum, and Quince Marcum- percussion and alto horn”

2nd: Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship (11:30)
From New Orleans, with members of Zydepunks and Baby Rosebud
“Arguably from the recessive-gened musical lineage of acts like the Zydepunks and Baby Rosebud, it offers startlingly original music made with nontraditional instrumentation. The members have their own mix of accordion, banjo, upright bass, occasional cello and French horn, with roots in Eastern European sounds, rural American roots music, sea shanties, carnival noises, old-timey string bands and a flurry of similar whimsical and romantic noises.” – Gambit Weekly

1st: Dimestore Dance Ensemble (10:30)
Featuring Jack Martin o/Knoxville Girls, Kid Congo and the Pink Monkeybirds, Congo Norvell, Honeymoon Killers, Cause for Applause, etc. and special guests
“Guitarist Jack Martin’s gypsy jazz quartet is hard to categorize because technically DDB are a jazz band, but their approach is more punk rock and more compositional then the standard head-head improvising. Think Eric Satie vignettes sandblasted with Django Reinhardt brio and Mark Ribot skronk. Tonight clarinetist Doug Weiselman sits in.” – Village Voice
