Band Websitewww.hungrymarchband.com
Band MembersThere are up to 20 of us at any given time. If you're that interested in the parts that make up the whole, check out http://hmbnyc.com/members/
InfluencesCity streets in the summer; red wine, whiskey and beer; old-time jazz and the sound of jazz to come. We are good and bad influences on each other in equal measure, and all 20+ of us are always bringing things to the table: Ellington, Mingus, a nice paté, SunRa, Pig Bag, the Clash, some spiced rum, Black Sabbath, Prince Buster, Goran Bregovic, or what grew out of our own individual gardens or collective heads.

   About Hungry March Band







The Hungry March Band blows through the city on the shoulders of Chaos, careening among ecstatic melodies and torrential rhythms, leaving a unique residue of delight in its wake. A spitfire band of both Main Street and the side street, the HMB is likely to show up at any number of places: community demonstrations, dog parades, fancy weddings, jazz funerals, famous New York City clubs, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Mediterranean islands, and the luckiest subway cars on the planet.

The band was born in 1997 on the Brooklyn water-front, just in time for the Coney Island Mermaid Day Parade, and is now a booming ensemble of saxes, trombones, trumpets, sousaphones, and a full percussion section. They are often joined by the Pleasure Society, a troupe of baton twirlers, hula hoopers, and dancers, who blur the boundary between band and audience.

Vigorously digesting music from wherever brass bands are heard — the Balkans, India, New Orleans, Latin America — and combining it with a knowledge of big band, free jazz, and punk rock, the Hungry March Band blares forth with one of the most original musical voices in NYC.

At HONK!fest West 2008

"This feisty bunch gets down with some monster grooves, New Orleans-like funeral & marching music, foot-stomping cartoon-like hilarity, post-klez and other ethnic music mayhem. A complete blast."

-Bruce Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery, NYC

"...the irrepressibly entertaining Hungry March Band takes over the club."

-The New Yorker

"The Hungry March Band is a mix of quirkiness and tradition."

-Andy Newman, New York Times

"Brooklyn phenomena the Hungry March Band... with the power of a Bourbon Street hurricane."

-Dan Aquilante, New York Post

"Dirty Dozen Brass Band crossed with... the Sun Ra Arkestra."

-Laura Shin, Time Out NY

Besides EE of course (roofs being blown off and general defenstration), I can't believe that the band band that I have seen most in 2008 was Hungry March Band!, I saw you in different parts of Seattle, all over NYC, Providence, Somerville and Cambridge, and I live in CHICAGO!, I am so proud to be your friends!!, and am continually inspired, often flagging in my loft, to your music!, I love you all! (not counting huge crushes!!!), and we've had some special times, !!!!! Jamming with us at Rubulad, in the streets, it is a huge artistic accomplishment what you all have done in NY and all over!, Lets keep doing it! PS, EE and HMB are the ONLY two bands to have made all 4 HONK fests, and ya''ll better be in Seattle this easter. I am so excited to see you again, Cheers to you, uhhhhh, my frickin favorite. @@!~! My personal thanks to waaaayyyyyy helping EE out, and you know when you come to Chicago we will overwhelm you with pleasures.
Mike Smith!!
