Listen to an interview with two members of the What Cheer? Brigade speaking in Montreal after a performance at La Sala Rossa. In this interview listen to members of the band speak to the brass band tradition, the relationship between collectivity and musical practice, while also highlighting the recent growth in brass bands, emerging from the anti-capitalist protests in the past decade.
What Cheer? Brigade is decribed as, "The What Cheer? Brigade is a 19-piece brass band from Providence, RI, USA. Our sound is an aggressive mix of Bollywood, The Balkans, New Orleans, Samba and Hip-Hop, played with the intensity of metal. Requiring no amplification, we prove that great parties need no electricity. Our live shows defy boundaries, appealing equally to punks and farmers, old and young."
