YOUNGBLOOD BRASSBAND

Mike Boman - trumpet with Youngblood Brassband

Holy shit,... can these guys play!!!!

Already enjoyed a live outdoor concert of this US-based nine-piece wild ensemble at the 5th of May celebrations in Wageningen a while back. I immediately bought their CDs and have since infected all of my brass friends with this unbelievable wall of sound and musicality.... Drum Corps Punk as they list their style.... I love it!

Went to see them at Tivoli in Utrecht last night. Took the camera as usual and shot away.
Lots of new pieces but also trademarks such as "Avalanche". Loved "Is that is a Riot" from their new album! And "Headbanger" really got the place going there in Utrecht.

Nice chat with some of the band members after the gig. Thanks Mike!

New Orleans Mardi Gras pieces took the fans' minds back to the devastating tragedy that hit New Orleans last year. A wonderful tribute.

Have even considered going to see them again tonight, when they'll play in Den Bosch. Might wait until the end of their European Tour when the perform in Brussels. Will see.

In the meantime I'm enjoying their new recording and the pix.
