Bio
..................Good Life EP........Do Right Music.......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..........Download.. ..Share........ ....Brassroots was formed late in the Autumn of 2008 among the streets of East London. The band is an 8- piece horn and percussion ensemble comprised of an impressive groove and energy charged group of musicians from a variety of different countries and backgrounds including England, Israel, France, Greece and America... ....Eager to establish a flourishing brassband scene in London, Brassroots quickly set about bringing unbelievable REAL, LIVE instrumental sound back into mainstream music by presenting pop music in a unique and challenging format. The group has also been featuring and collaborating with vocalists, MC's and DJ's recently which has proved highly successful and effective in bringing yet another exciting aspect to their shows. Brassroots are on track to change the way you experience and appreciate live music. .. ....The group has unleashed knock-out shows to sold out audiences at Scala King's Cross, Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Festibelly and an exhausting 7 shows at Bestival. Brassroots has continued to blaze a trail through the London music scene in less than a year of existence. Earning radio play on BBC Radio 1 with Rob da Bank, BBC Kent with Sean Rowley, Magic and Choice FM with Chris Philips and Calvin Francis and KCRW's Jeremy Sole in LA makes 2010 looks even more promising. Leaving fans screaming at the top or their lungs for more is their calling card and the band is poised to bring a brand new energy and appeal to a tragically under-rated genre. The band currently enjoys a long-running residency at East London's venue Rich Mix where they showcase some of London's premiere up and coming musical talent at the same time presenting their unique sound and highlighting a different style from their bag of goodies... .... ..BUY A CD:.. ....Even with all of that going on, the group made time to go into the studio in September to record the self-titled 7 track EP "Brassroots" available through Paypal for only £6 including shipping! To purchase, please email payment to brassrootsmusic@googlemail.com with your address. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ......Myspace Layout Generator.. by LayoutGeneratorMyspace.com........
