CyberHippie Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 Wow man Killer run! That's one festival I've always wanted to do, so much wicked stuff... How'd you enjoy the Dirty Dozen Brass Band? I've been listening to them a lot lately, "Buck Jump" is a great album. I remember seeing them at the Comfort Zone one time, I love how the Tuba lays down these heavy bass lines.
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 wow! WoW!!! If I only had disposible income...
ike Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Posted May 3, 2004 Trevor, DDBB was great. I saw them at a free in store at virgin records. No Tuba as far as I know, what you're hearing laying down the bass is a sousaphone. I recommend you check out the album 'Medicated Magic', it's one of my favs.
tatterdemalion Posted May 3, 2004 Report Posted May 3, 2004 dirty dozen has a tuba, although sometimes he's MIA. nice run ike. i've been hearing great things about eric lindell from the fest. mmmm cracklins, soft shell crab poboys, cochon du lait, crawfish monica ... mmmm fairgrounds j-fest !!
ike Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Posted May 4, 2004 Yeah, DDBB did have a tuba player but he just passed away in January. Their new album 'A Funeral For a Friend' is dedicated to Anthony "Tuba Fats" Lacen.
SaggyBalls Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 okay it looks like another musical mixup. a sousaphone is a big tuba that wraps around you. it's a big tuba that has more mass...i think it's a more pure low tone if your'e going to get picky about it. a sousaphone is made more for marching bands and directing the sound forwards. so yes, it's a tuba, but no it's a sousaphone. it doens't really matter. DDBB is awesome. sad to hear about the missing funky tuba.
harpuah Posted May 5, 2004 Report Posted May 5, 2004 That IS a sick lineup. I'm GREEN with envy, this is the first year that I have missed and it sounds incredibe, once again proving my point that WORKING IS FOR SUCKERS!! How is Spearhead live? I am thinking bout going to Hornings Hideout for Spearhead, SCI, YMSB, Kellar and STS9- mostly for the Spearhead,
ike Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Posted May 5, 2004 Spearhead is awesome live. 'Nuff said. I'd say go checkout that festival, looks like a nice lineup. Got anymore info on this Hornings Hideout?
harpuah Posted May 6, 2004 Report Posted May 6, 2004 Sweeeet!!! Check out jambase, theres a couple good shows at Hornings this year.
