Stagger Back Brass Band returns for our last show until the end of summer! Cartoon circus madness, many many brick walls to try not to run into (not always so successful there...), and slow dances for makin' out. All original brass band music. All fun all the time.

We're very excited to be playing with Why Are We Building Such a Big Ship?, our good friends on tour from NOLA. Their instrumentation is very similar to ours (accordion, bunch of horns, two drummers), and their music is totally different. Very unique, hard to describe, ya just gotta see it. It's great! http://www.myspace.com/whyarewebuildingsuchabigshipDimestore Dance Ensemble opens this show at the cavernous new Glasslands Gallery in W'burg, which has a room where you can paint the walls! What could be better? $6 cover
