Event Description

The Primate Fiasco spawns from the streets of Northampton MA. With tuba, banjo, clarinet, trumpet, drums, and vocal harmony, it's the instrumentation of a New Orleans sidewalk band but with modern influences. While the band can play authentic "Traditional Jazz", the music that's more likely to come out of their ancient instruments is often recognized as funk, reggae, bluegrass, hip hop, rock, latin, trance, the occasion Serbian gypsy jam, etc. But the world has enough labels already. Most would agree on the category of "fun". If you want to invent a genre, "psychedelic dixieland" seems to get the point across.
