The Bolting Brassicas Marching Band : Press Kit

Bio

The Bolting Brassicas Marching Band are a diaphragm and forearm-powered aural enema packed with Balkan-klezmer-funkalicious (klez-bunk) power that'll purge your oomp-aah demons. Most of our songs are fast, except a couple of hand-on-heart numbers that'll have you blubbering into your vodka. Our speciality - causing audiences to sweat profusely in their formal wear.

We're from Lasqueti Island, which is exactly like LA, except for the squeti and just about everything else. The band comprises 5% of the island's population, which makes music its second biggest export after massage therapy.

We are a Bombastic, high-energy marching band that entertains all types and ages !
