MARCHING BAND

So remember a while ago when I went to the BRIGHT EYES  concert at BB and I told you that MATT was in charge of taking the pictures and stuff? So anyway, that night he was telling me about a friends band. What else is new, people are always telling me about some new band I should check out. So MATT emails me their song and I remember checking out their MYSPACE page and seeing their gig calendar. It listed random streets in the city all over town and odd times. I thought it was so odd.

Fast forward like 2 months, the other night when I went to see THE KILLS in WB. I was walking with some friends afterwards on N6th, and suddenly I see this group of dudes in knit hats, playing crazy instruments and singing at the top of their lungs marching band style. It was the most amazing thing I had seen in a while. Low and behold I take a closer look and MATT is with them- 

This is the band he was telling me about. These dudes literally go all over the place spreading their tunes in the street. I screamed his name and we had a 2 second reunion. Anyway, this band is called TOURMALINE. Their sound is alternative meets jazz with a splash of indie rock. Heres their MYSPACE link. Check it out. My favorite track of theirs is AFRAID OF THE SAME.
