Brass Knuckle Brass Band – “Antimatter” Album Launch

Event

Come celebrate BKBB's new album with two sets of horn-honking funk, jazz, New Orleans and club-inspired tunes.

Brass Knuckle Brass Band is a sweaty late-night party for anyone who knows a sousaphone is always tougher than a bass guitar. Think whiskey dripping from trombone spit-valves; think drummers with callouses on their callouses. Think a crusty bari sax belting at Bourbon Street from the wrong hemisphere and you're getting the idea. First thrown together for a one-off Wednesday night jazz gig, BKBB has played at Falls Festival and Woodford Folk Festival, and has opened for international heavyweights Jon Cleary, Charles Bradley and Fred Wesley.
