Folly Day 2008! what an experience!  
We made a trip to NYC on Apr. 26-27 and words can't quite capture the marching band insanity that was Folly Day! so we bring you pictures and video! it was a glorious day roaming around Prospect Park (usually lost) and playing music. highlights included playing Happy Birthday & Sesame Street to a little girl's bday party, leading an entourage into the forrest on a narrow trail, marching into a fence, climbing over said fence (while playing!) much to the confusion of joggers on the running path on the other side, and, of course, the rumble!


Folly Day - RMO Advances
Originally uploaded by LarimdaME

This is a great shot of one of the most fun moments of the day. As each band wandered around the park playing, when you encountered another band you were supposed to "borrow" some of their members. what this turned into was a marching band show down. in this picture we have just exited a tunnel, and from the hill above RMO came down the path at us. what followed was a blazing free for all as we battled song for song. they had a bigger band, more drummers and choreographed dancers, yet we fought valiantly and refused to concede. the pinnacle of this 'contest' was when they played their crowd pleasing standard Push It, complete with dance routine, and they perhaps expected us to give in. ;) But no! We retorted with our version of Sexy Back, and several of them nearly peed their pants.

HONK! Fest pics and video  
pics and video are just starting to make it on to the intarwebz, so here's a collection of what i found so far. some of these are ENSMB specific, but there's a lot of other performers too. to get the full effect of actually being there, you should surround yourself by at least 5 monitors, run slide shows on all of them and turn the volume up really loud.

ENSMB on youtube!

these are just of us, but there are a bunch from the other bands on youtube as well. this sequence actually does a good job of giving you the first person feel of being in the crowd.

(walk up) Dusty Bones
Bella Ciao
Flight of the Winged Serpent
(walk away) Mesecina

for your viewing pleasure  
we've got a big chunk of video of ENSMB at Cambridge Peace Day this past Sat! (which i completely flaked on mentioning here) all together this is about 15 min. of our show, which was about a third of the music we played. i'm really starting to dig playing on the street.

ENSMB performs their biggest hits!
Flight of The Winged Serpent
Nostalgia in Times Square
Bubamara

ENSMB on YouTube!!!  
one of the fine representatives of HONK! fest came to see us at WUTE this weekend, and caught us on tape! you can catch some glimpses of the band, a few folks from the Madcap Rumpus Society, and a bunch of random dancers and hula hoopers. unfortunately, we were missing [info]coraline, [info]nacht_musik and our percussionist, so we're only a fraction of our true self, but we still bring the noise!


you can also read a rousing endorsement of us on the HONK! fest myspace page.
