Youngblood Brass Band – München, Live Evil

In the organizer's words:

For their new album (their first in five years), Pax Volumi, the Youngblood Brass Band is working with Tru Thoughts, the British label from Brighton, whose spectrum ranges from deep soul (Alice Russell) to hip-hop (Ty) to straightforward New Orleans brass band (Hot 8). The combination could not be more fitting. With this album, the band finally achieves not only its musical but also its production goals: It captures the live intensity of the stage and creates beats and rhymes that boom straight from the speakers. It's almost as if they've spent the last 15 years becoming THAT Youngblood Brass Band; as if everything in the past has led to the creation of an album that defies categorization, an album that no other group could have made. On stages in the US and abroad, the verdict is in: The band has never sounded this good. Whatever it is ... the jaw-dropping shows, the educational goals, the small-town roots, the genuine honesty without smirks, the rousing anthems for cool kids and geeks alike - the Youngblood Brass Band has become an institution to be seen and heard. Exuberant dancing is also allowed.
