Interview: David Levine (LowDown Brass Band)

The group brandishes a powerful brass frontline of trumpets, trombones, and saxophones with a funky backline of drums and sousaphone. Combining the poetic ferocity of Billa Camp with stellar vocal harmonies, adventurous improvisation, movement, and grooves, LowDown Brass Band creates an infectious and diverse sound that has something for every listener.

Interview with mc chris in the Pitch
MC Chris has blown past the nerdcore label to become one of the most interesting minds in music. Sure, he could rock the mic for the comics-convention set indefinitely, but he clearly has a broader audience in mind.
