Brassroots - new band alert and dates

Here's the press blurb:

BRASSROOTS

An illicit love triangle between Michael Jackson, Gnarls Barkely, and a trombone.....

An 8- piece horn and percussion ensemble born on the streets of East London, Brassroots oozes a groove and energy fed by musicians from a England, Israel, France, Greece & America.

With the noble aim of re-establishing a flourishing brass band scene in London, the group has unleashed knock-out shows at Scala, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and an amazing 7 shows at Bestival. Continuing to blaze a trail through the London music scene in less than a year of existence, Brassroots have already earned radio play on BBC Radio 1 with Rob da Bank and plan a full world takeover by next year. Witness the start of the revolution!

Leaving fans screaming at the top or their lungs for more is the calling card of Brassroots, who are poised to bring a brand new energy and appeal to the hugely under-rated genre of Brass music.

Brass bands are cool again. You heard it here first.
