PERCY JONES AND THE MJ-12: an exciting improvisational trio. They take various starting points of jazz/rock fusion, psychedelia and ambient noise and develop them in unpredictable directions. Nothing sounds the same twice.
Percy Jones (Brand X, Eno) fretless Bass, Stephen Moses (Alice Donut) Drums/Trombone, Aubrey Smith (Helden) Vocals/Keyboards.
VEVERITSE Brass Band finds its inspiration in the drama of the Romany(Gypsy) music of the Balkans. With an eye to the powerful exactitude of these melodies, Veveritse makes room for play. With two trumpets, a saxophone, four mid-horns, a tuba and two drummers, they are ten deep, creating not a wall of sound, but a loud tapestry. Members of the band also play in other great NYC bands like Romashka, Hungry March Band, Zlatne Uste, The Woes, Ansambl Mastika, and Stagger Back Brass Band....not to mention the infamous and nefarious "Top Secret Attack Band"! Veveritse, with its theatrical bent, has scored various nights of films, played benefits, parties and numerous clubs.
