.The Extra Action Marching Band is a collision of big band and ecstatic turmoil.
Despite their name they rarely march, but rather shimmy, crawl, mob and charge.
Trumpets pounce like eagles, tubas drip ass-bouncing blurps from fat fingers. Drums shudder under wild eyed, white knuckled drummers. Through it all winds the flag team,, glittering and sinuous creatures, who masterfully pulsate pom-poms in a hypnotic fantasy. The listener is hoodwinked, soaked, and savaged into giddy abandon.
Powerful and empowering, the Extra Action Marching Band seduces the pre-civilized will. They are immediate and visceral.-
They are a parody of idioms with shattering volume - Guerrilla theater with the rug rolled up.
Extra Action has performed in back alleys ,the countryside of Serbia,and at the Hollywood Bowl.- They have played Black Sabbath in a synagogue for dancing octogenarians, - but the preferred venue is a small ,locked room with the heat turned up.
As the sound boils into a spinning crossfire, sweat and flying hair tangle in a delicious knot. Audience and band submit together, to each other, to the whim and fancy, to satisfaction. Irresistible.
Extra Action Marching Band's Friend Space (Top 21)
I uploaded two new tracks, called “I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” & “Another Kiss, Another Night”.
*******
“I Love Your Swingin’ in a Swing” ; Partly polyrhythm of 3/4 & 4/4. ; Motown beats. ; I intentionally wrote so catchy melody with mainly using major keys (so this track is very different from my old works).
“Evening Dress (Another Kiss)” ; I tried to make a track like bossa nova, but the finished is nothing but a strange one… ; And it sounds obscene though I tried to make a elegant one… maybe factor’s a sound of guiro. ; Modulations will come twice. ; In the second interlude, there’s a section like trance music... BPM is over 300.
*******
It will be nice if you give me your impressions… please check those over if you have a time. I’m looking forward to receiving your words.
