Sounds Like
Trying to ride a bike and play the trombone simultaneously the morning after the Russian circus blows through town. Music inspired by the folks songs of Eastern Europe, the magic of New Orleans, and the pandemonium of the circus.

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 sounds like riding a bicycle and playing a trombone the morning after the Russian circus has blown through town. We are an absurd expression of boisterous pandemonium, infernal bicycle-based contraptions and a fascination with borscht and slivovitz.
