Do you sometimes hear a song and think, “ya know, that would sound better as brass”? Same here! We play tunes that span multiple decades that will fill any street or venue to the brim with sonic satisfaction!
We’re looking musicians to fill out our ranks all around -- vocals, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and drum set/kit players and/or drumline-style percussionists. 21+ only, please but don't worry about experience -- if you can read music and play some notes we'll bring you along for the ride. Reply to this post for more info.
We're committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and empowering group. We believe that having players with diverse backgrounds enables us to better connect with audiences and make sure art is truly accessible for everyone. We recognize that arts opportunities in the Seattle area have historically excluded and continue to disproportionately exclude Black and Indigenous people, people of color, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people. We strongly encourage individuals with these identities to get in touch.

MORE ABOUT THE BAND
Imagine a great mixtape from a school dance (slow dances included plus possibly a little singing and/or karaoke!) but brass and that’s what we're about: En Vogue, Boyz II Men, The Police, Radiohead, Soundgarden, Kansas, Lonely Island, Britney Spears, and more!
We rehearse weekly on Thurs. night in/around SW Seattle and busk/gig on the streets, in venues, and for festivals around the area. Collaboration on arranging tunes, snagging and managing gigs, and more is welcome. We've played on local streets, stages, and festivals all while dressed in whatever shiny brass/gold clothes we can find. Depending on band travel and other goals, we can decide together how best any $$ earned can be distributed and/or spent.
