Brass Against

I think I spent an hour listening to this band Sunday. Lot’s of 1990’s era covers. They’re really good. There is also a tuba player. Enjoy.

They are quite good. Not sure if they are still gigging with that same lead singer.

Edited:

They are. She has a great sound. Hopefully she’s got herself together now.

To my ears, the star (and the glue) of the group is the baritone saxophone player. Apparently he does the arrangements.

This one ends on a “tuba note”.

A favorite. Their covers of Rage Against the Machine (eponymous) and Tool tracks are especially good, but I haven't heard a bad track from them. Agree that the bari sax is their backbone, but their whole horn section (especially the bones) is solid.

Is it just me, or does it seem like the person who mixes their studio recordings doesn't like to hear the tuba?

I just wish the cameraperson would stay still. There are many videos of this style, the camera just moves around constantly and for me, it's nearly unwatchable. There's a name for that style, but I forget what it is. It's supposed to be more dynamic and engaging, more like it would be live and in-person. I don't care for it, though.

The Roots have the same issue. I don't think I ever heard their tuba player until I found a Tiny Desk video with them on YT. "Turn it up!"

I like the moving camera. A fixed image isn't very interesting.

Here's a live recording. Different singer than most of the videos above. Kinda like you've mentioned about the Roots, more tuba can be heard in the live recording.
Go to 0:28:31 if the video link doesn't go right there. It's Led Zeppelin's Kashmir with horns only. There's a tuba solo! Beware if you watch the whole video, there's a lot of profanity.

To be honest, I think I'm just listening 90% of the time, not watching all that much.
