Their bio: Even in a city that doesn’t play by the rules, New Orleans’ Bonerama is something different. They can evoke vintage funk, classic rock and free improvisation in the same set; maybe even the same song. Bonerama has been repeatedly recognized by Rolling Stone, hailed as “the ultimate in brass balls” (2005) and praised for their “…crushing ensemble riffing, human-feedback shrieks and wah-wah growls” (2007). Bonerama carries the brass-band concept to places unknown; what other brass band could snag an honor for “Best Rock Band” (Big Easy Awards 2007)? As cofounder Mark Mullins puts it, “We thought we could expand what a New Orleans brass band could do. Bands like Dirty Dozen started the “anything goes” concept, bringing in the guitars and the drum kit and using the sousaphone like a bass guitar. We thought we could push things a little further.”
Mike's thoughts: Bonerama is another band I saw while I was at the Future of Music Conference. They played a benefit concert while I was there and seeing them live is definitely an experience. Erin McKeowan, who joined Bonerama on stage compared playing with them to "being strapped to the front of a Mack Truck with no way to get off". I think that was pretty accurate.
Check them out live if you ever get the chance.
