2015-06-19 10:00 CEST Youngblood Brass Band bringer brandfarlig riot-brass til VEGA VEGA præsenterer YOUNGBLOOD BRASS BAND BRINGER BRANDFARLIG RIOT-BRASS TIL VEGA Riot brass-ikonerne i Youngblood Brass Band fyrer op for deres fusion af riot, hiphop og jazz, når de giver koncert i Lille VEGA 4. august. Det ti mand høje New Orleans-baserede hiphop-hornorkester Youngblood Brass Band er kendte som grundlæggerne af genren riot brass, og har brudt grænser for, hvordan man fortolker genrer som riot, hiphop og jazz i mere end de femten år, medlemmerne har været sammen, og nu har de et nyt album i støbeskeen. Brandfarlig live-energi På ensemblets seneste udgivelse Pax Volumi (2013), der var den første i mere end fem år, formår bandet at indkapsle den medrivende lyd og live-energi, som de er verdenskendte for. Gaffa anmeldte riot-brass ikonernes koncert på Loppen i København, hvor de kvitterede med fem ud af seks stjerner og ordene: ”De har drive. De har groove. Og deres musik er af den smittefarlige slags. Der er ingen tvivl om, at man vil nynne og danse til deres numre for sig selv i ugerne efter mødet med verdens førende hiphop-hornorkester.” Se video på YouTube her Hyppige gæster i Danmark Youngblood Brass Band har skabt sig en solid fanbase i hele verden, og i særdeleshed også i Danmark.

Riot Jazz Fra Den Energiske, Musikalske Cocktail Youngblood Brass Band
2017-07-06 10:00 CEST Riot jazz fra den energiske, musikalske cocktail Youngblood Brass Band VEGA præsenterer Riot jazz fra den energiske, musikalske cocktail Youngblood Brass Band Tung hiphop og festlig New Orleans jazz fylder Lille VEGA, når det legendariske brass band spiller deres unikke kompositioner den 17. oktober. Youngblood Brass Band kombinerer de tungeste hiphop beats med originale harmoniske blæseinstrumenter og leder tankerne hen på artister som Stevie Wonder, Fugazi, Four Tet og Public Enemy. Det amerikanske brass band fra Oregon mødte hinanden tilbage i high school i 1995. Her startede drengene det musikalske projekt One Lard Biskit Brass Band, som tre år senere blev ændret til Youngblood Brass Band. Samme år udgav de deres debutalbum Word on The Street og i 2000 udgav bandet den anmelderroste opfølger Unlean, som featurede artister som Talib Kweli, Mike Ladd, dj Skooly og Ike Willis (Frank Zappas sparringspartner). Det ti mand høje orkester spillede i 2003 et utal af koncerter på Roskilde, hvor deres unikke blanding af New Orleans jazz og hiphop lød lifligt ud over hele dyreskuepladsen. I hjemlandet er gruppen kendt som en ”must-see-live”- oplevelse. Med de mange års sammenspil har bandet oparbejdet en utrolig tight fælles forståelse, hvilket både kan ses og i særdeleshed høres. Bandet med tubaisten Nat McIntosh og perkussionist David Henzie-Skogen i front har gang på gang vist at de mestrer en bred vifte af genrer i deres samfundskritiske, men samtidigt utroligt festlige, musikalske univers. Med deres seneste album Pax Volumni fra 2013 i baghånden og en ny ep på trapperne bliver det med sikkerhed en uforglemmelig aften i selskab med det kompetente, farverige brass band.
