Sounds Like"The Hobo Banned's psych-folk songs don't hearken back to the past as much as they yearn for the future."
-Metroland Best of 2007

[Sgt Dunbar's songs are] catchy, wide-eyed, loose and delightfully shambolic postmodern folk with horns.
-Philip Schwartz, Schenectady Gazette

Cars are heavy too.
-Said the Gramophone

Philosophically minded songs as conjured up by the Salvation Army band on acid.
-Greg Haymes, Times Union (best local cds of 2007)

No matter who you hear in their sound or compare them to, there is loads here to love.
-My Old Kentuky Blog

Bordélique? Plutôt. Jouissif? Sûrement.
-The Man from Rennes Steals Our Hearts

   About Sgt Dunbar and the Hobo Banned
I met Sgt Dunbar on a bus. He was headed to Kingston to catch freight out to Georgia. He gave me some of his Ten High whiskey. I doubt I'll ever see him again on account of he had pretty bad liver cancer (I saw the tumor). This band has everything and nothing to do with him.



Passing Time.
Live from "The Thing About Time" CD Release Show. Dec. 8, 2007.

try Once, Okay Twice from Washington D.C. and tell them that The Fabulous Funky Freedom referred you to them. They got us an awesome show in D.C. awhile back and they're making some headway down there.
They may be able to help with your August date
