March Fourth

Pardon the iPhone blurry night shots.

If you have been around me for any period of time, you know that I am a sucker for a marching band or a brass band {formed out of the marching band tradition}. I live all year for Mardi Gras when the St. Aug Marching 100 come parading down in front of me; I beg and plead for all of my Houstonian friends to come to see Rebirth Brass Band one more time; and if Soul Rebels are in town for New Years, I am there.

So last week when Will asked me if I wanted to head downtown to check out this marching band March Fourth from Portland, I jumped right on it. I can not even put into words the sights and scenes that we were able to behold on Saturday night! My mind was blown. Stilts, acrobatics, burlesque, puppets, pole dancing, it was amazing!!!

Check out this 10 minute bio from Tom D'Antoni via March Fourths MySpace page.

I was looking for clips from shows to post, but you have to be there to experience it. The clips do not come close to emanating the power of their perfomances. You should listen to some tracks online here and here.

If you are going to VooDoo Experience, DO NOT miss this act!!
