Non-garage greatness #1
Hey everyone!
If you're reading this blog post, stop and take a moment to pat yourself on the back for being at cosmological ground zero of what will undoubtedly be the biggest thing since... I dunno... the great Balloon Boy hoax of 2009.
Anyway, while the Flying Saucer Rock 'n' Roll podcast offers me an opportunity to foist my favourite trashy garage tracks upon the world, there are a whole schwack of other, non-garage related things I wish I could share with y'all.
And thus, enter the NON-GARAGE GREATNESS blog... posted exclusively for the edification and entertainment of the Gargepunk Hideout community. My goal is to post the stuff that interests me that doesn't fit into the scope of the podcast - and I'm hoping to hit as many points between ridiculous and sublime as possible.
Drop me a line to let me know you're out there and that you're listening!
Okay, so to kick things off here's a real gooder... the HYPNOTIC BRASS ENSEMBLE. They are a 9-piece jazz/funk group featuring 8 sons of Phil Cohran(best known for his work as a trumpet player for Sun Ra's Arkestra) on horns. Check out the awesome funky bass on the attached track - it's a TUBA!!!!!!!!

Also, check 'em out on YouTube playing in an NYC subway to get a sense of their total awesomeness!
Enjoy!

"...ridiculous and sublime" Sounds like the right thing for me man! Can't wait for more and also can't wait to get down and check that track! I also am more than a bit split in half when it comes to my cultural personae, soooo I'm enjoying the news of different tunes!
YAY!, Keep them coming!
