Brass Beats Collective

Event information

Brass Beats Collective- A high energy dance band comprised of trumpets, trombones, sousaphone, and drums… a mix of choice covers and striking originals composed and arranged by founding member Joel Cooper. Brass Beats Collective have active bands in Manchester, Ipswich, Berlin, and London and line ups vary in size from 4-piece to 6-piece or sometimes 7 including an MC/rapper.

Slender Pins– Punchy taut post punkery with elastic bass, split splat sparky drumming and arcing abrasive guitars and a melodically inclined new wave vocal fulla vim. Love it. Elements of The Stranglers, Devo, The Clash, Gang Of 4, Pil…ace…great songs.

Joan Smith & the Jane Does - the sassiest of raunchy rawk gals n guys grinding out some ‘authentic hard rock’ as somebody said. But it’s all supercool and indie in attitude and that’s why they’re so flaming ace. Canadians too. No way could Donald deal with these beauties.

Tval - Northampton based electro duo playing early Kraftwerk type stuff- not very early weird Kraftwerk, but there are some flute sounds in here. Also add a bit of guitar for New Orderliness! Breathy understated vocals and a general vibe of enigmatic disquiet. Excellent. It’s an eclectic as fuck bill that’s for sure, but joyously unified by each act’s individual brilliance.

DJs We Got Killers take over the dancefloor at 11. Hey! It’s an eclectic as fuck playlist but all brill likewise.
