New Sounds
Klezmer-Core, Balkan Bangers and More
Show #2415
Friday, May 20, 2005
It’s New Sounds party music on this program with high-energy Balkan and Slavic big band music played by Americans. Members of the Hungry March Band, a Brooklyn-based collective with lots of horns and drums, perform crazy speed Balkan boogie along with groovy parade music live in the studio, and it’s powerful fun. Also, hear music from the Luminescent Orchestrii, who have cornered the market on Appalachian gypsy music with a little nod to the seminal punk band Dead Kennedys. Plus, listen to the Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band, and selections from the brand-new Slavic Soul Party record. All this to celebrate the King Gypsy Rocker Massive III party, a gypsy punk-ass Balkan brass band dance extravaganza landing at the Knitting Factory this Sunday, May 22.
