Influences
Dreams of a wonderful world where everyone rides bikes and knows how to play the tuba. We are inspired by the folks songs of Eastern Europe, the magic of New Orleans, the pandemonium of the circus, and the joy of making music in the street.

Minor Mishap Marching Band - 25 piece renegade Balkan circus brass dance party
"The Minor Mishap Marching Band — counting members of the ecstatic jazz troupe White Ghost Shivers — created a musical spectacle unmatched this side of New Orleans or a Mummer’s Parade." - The Austin American Statesman
Minor Mishap Marching Band was born out of a a propensity for ecstatic dancing, a tremendous love of brass band music and a deep appreciation for the ridiculous. Dressed in outlandish costumes, trombones blaring and boasting an eight piece drum section, they create a spectacle as well as musical mayhem. Most of their repertoire is the original compositions for founder and conductor, Datri Bean, influenced by Balkan brass bands, Esquivel and New Orleans as well as modern groups- Balkan Beat Box, Shantel, Slavic Soul party and others. Other repertoire includes traditional Rromani pieces, Klezmer, Cumbia and Ukrainian pop.
