Madcamp brass: Hungry March Band

As if they needed an introduction, Hungry March Band is a 25-piece brass marching band rolling out the sounds of New Orleans, gypsy/roma, India, jazz, latin, klezmer, punk and hip hop. They are a legendary NYC street brass march band, roaring out of Brooklyn in the anarchic style that has become their trademark. Put on your dancing shoes and break out the fancy threads because they've got a party going on - a blazing parade of flesh, blood, steel, brass and wood. They are the music of the people!

"This is a crazy, sexy, hip and fun incarnation of the brass band." - Public Radio Exchange. "Mardi gras beads swing, saxes buck, trombones extend. There's a cabaret feel, with wigs, goggles, pigtails, spinning bass drum mallets, fedoras; spoons rattle a washboard; there are epaulettes, a hula hoop, marching hats and a frilly red crinoline. The playing is tight and immaculate." - The London Times

Live hot jazz: Baby Soda Jazz Band

Baby Soda is on the cutting edge of a new movement loosely known as street jazz; with an eclectic set of influences ranging from New Orleans brass bands, jug music, southern gospel and hot jazz. The ensemble doesn't desire to recreate the past, rather they bring the concept and joy of the music to the present. Baby Soda is an adaptable and ever-changing group made up of New York's finest musicians; featuring trumpet, accordion, clarinet, washboard, banjo and one string bass. Accordionist Patrick Harison also does double duty as the band's vocalist, with a voice described as Tom Waits meets Rudy Vallee. Both Pediatrics and Geriatrics agree, Baby Soda is the sure cure for the aches and pains of the modern world!

Live hot jazz: Stumblebum Brass Band

"As of late, this hypnotic rumbling-raunch-jazz trio has been turning up all over the city in a nearly Mephistophelean manner. They appear from nowhere, breathe smoke and fire from trumpet and tuba, pound on their drum whilst parading through the crowd...and then abruptly disappear into the New York night. Are they banshees? wraiths? demons? Do they possess some uncanny ability to locate a lull in frivolity and then dispel it with ungodly powers?" - The Cad.

"The Stumblebum Brass Band's gritty, whiskey-soaked songs like "Smokin' and Drinkin'" rile up guests with Mardi Gras verve" - New York Magazine. "Rousing Anthems" - C.J. Smith, MTV News.

Naughty chanteuse: SelenaVarius

A Great Creatrix was bored with her old toys and determined to build an undomesticated submissive. Not a weak-willed, solicitous creature, but one of tempestuous substance -- one worthy of Her skill. To challenge Herself, She created a fine instrument, a Stradivarius, that could only be exploited by the hands of a Masterful Mistress. But alas, the perfect submissive requires the perfect Dominant: the Creatrix could not contain her creature. Thus, SelenaVarius was unleashed into New York City to seek her fate.

Hosted by: Eric Walton

He eats fire for breakfast and razor-blades for lunch. He reads Aristotle and he reads minds. A nimble-fingered trickster and a silver-tongued poet, the press have called him, "The King of The Underworld" (Three Weeks), "What the Devil would be like if he had his own night-club act" (NYTheatre.com), and, "[An] erudite magician and rabble-rouser" (The New York Times).

"Walton is a very entertaining con-man [and] a skilled sleight of hand artist - his routines draw bedazzlement from seemingly ordinary decks of playing cards." - TimeouNY. "With his top-notch vocabulary and gentlemanly poise, Walton quickly establishes himself as the sharpest knife in the drawer. [His] wizardry will leave you speechless and and perhaps just a little freaked out." - Gothamist.com

Future space haus: DJ Zemi17

Composer, musician and DJ Zemi17 creates some of the most unusual music you'll have ever heard on the dance floor. He sources his sounds from custom digital samples he's collected over the years like a vacationer does photographs. He's sampled archaic electronics, ancient sacred gamelan orchestras, frogs from 4 continents, and insects from the rainforest to the desert. Sometimes the sounds are sampled live, then cut and layered as a sonic college. The sound sources are relayed through various digital and analog effect processors, then syncopated into multi-layered tapestries of sound that range in style from ethnic Indonesian and African traditions, to ambient soundscapes, and techno. Zemi can usually be found spinning his magic at the best underground parties in NYC, weaving an infectious groove that keeps the dance floor moving long after the sun has come up.
