Great musicians! I wonder how many understand the amount of pre-work they've done on their own and the rehearsals and creativity of these guys and how much "work" they've put into it! Thanks guys, I appreciate your work and thanks fro bringing us such a polished show! ;-)
2:22 i love when that big guy in the background shows up and holding the fence with one hand and jamming on the music doing his own thing and enjoying the music
These guys are so fun to watch and listen to if I lived in New York I would probably consider running into these guys in the Subway as the best part of my day. And that is the exact same reason why I would never live in New York.
I love how Joshua Gawel plays awesome trumpet then shuffles into the corner ~ then shuffles back up to play some more awesome trumpet. His body gestures make it for me . . . He also makes it look & sound so easy but if you play you know that's not the case! That's serious years of practice.
Now Instead of using dumbells, we are going to be using a Baritone saxophone as our weights. And YOU have to play music at the same time to practice your breathing controls.
It must be tough as the drummer in this group. You gotta keep the volume controlled but you must be wanting to rock out like crazy the whole time. The guy has some real situational skills, has all the right energy at just the right volume and that can be really tough to pull off. Well played, that guy. Also tuba guy is on another level. Solid. Solid as a rock 🥰 Overall this is God tier stuff. This has inspired me to give busking a go.
Just saw them this Sunday, Jan 12th, at the exact same spot -34th street station- doing their thing. People kept going down that same escalator staring at them, lots of fun, and they had so much fun playing, that by itself was fun to watch! I love my NYC!
1: I want that trombone cos it looks so epic. 2. I prefer the 2018 version. 3. The trombone is probably taller than the trombone player himself, but he enjoyed and played it very well. hats off to him. Small guy with big lungs.
I can listen to these guys play all day. This is good music. This is what music should sound like. Not that computer generated crap that we hear on the radio. Now a days there is one person bands with a computer playing music. I only wish I could watch them live.
I'm so lucky I got to see them live! They were in St. Louis, the opening act for Gogol Bordello. I think that was the one and only time they have ever been in St. Louis and I don't know if they will ever come back, their current tour is in Europe so I think they play much bigger venues than The Lou. So, again. I consider myself extremely lucky I got to see them!!!!
My middle school band teacher tried to get me to switch from alto to baritone sax and when I put it on and sat down it hit the floor! I needed a booster seat! I could barely move that reed, I can’t believe he’s bouncing around dancing and jumping!
