"Rousing Anthems" - C.J. Smith, MTV News "The Stumblebum Brass Band's gritty, whiskey-soaked songs like 'Smokin' and Drinkin' rile up guests with Mardi Gras verve." - New York Magazine "Perhaps the only jazz outfit equally in debt to the Misfits and Louis Armstrong" - L Magazine

The Stumblebum Brass Band is an incendiary force on the New York City music scene. Even though the band has deep respect and admiration for the art of both Louis Armstrong and Nirvana; the Stumblebums reject nostalgia in favor of riotous spontaneity.
This is evidenced by the rapid-fire yet guttural vocalizations of frontman Smidge Malone who is also a ferocious trumpet player. His horn lines convey the entire canvas of human emotion which leaves audiences everywhere amazed. The basslines are dutifully carried out by Jesse Wildcards whose tuba playing displays a razor sharp accuracy as well as a playful raunchiness. The Stumblebums final but in some ways most important member is the erstwhile drummer Jonny Ballz whose service is indispensable due to his charming rambunctiousness.
The Stumblebum Brass Band has performed on many stages including the Music Hall of Williamsburg, World Cafe, Highline Ballroom, Mercury Lounge, The Box, Hiro Ballroom, Living Theatre, Shea Stadium, Joe's Pub and the Hammerstein Ballroom. They have supported many artists including The Roots, The Black Lips, Jim Rose and Ween.
