One week ago today I was down in Madison for a little R&R and kigis was king enough to take me to a musical experience unlike anything I have seen to date. We headed over to the High Noon Saloon (which is a pretty cool place if you ask me - oh and I love the smoking ban in Madison, I fucking hate smoke, I’m adamant about that) to check out a local band: Young Blood Brass Band. They just got back from their European tour and were kicking it back home for the first time since. It was also a sort of CD release party for their new album “Is That A Riot“.
This was a fun show. They are a 7 piece brass band who mix the brassy sound with a little hip-hop. A really cool concept and some cool music to boot. Apparently they toured with Mission (which I cannot locate a website) which I saw a few years ago and are another really cool hiphop band. They stay true to their messages and I like that - they say things with meaning, not this bling bling riding on 40″s garbage.
Here is a shot from the balcony where we were sitting. You can see the YBBB kicking it on stage.
Now here is a shot of what I saw on stage…. and what everything looked like for the next three days. This is what I get for having a bunch of chemists as friends…

Just remember the visual effects wear off over three days but the brain and nerve damage is permanent.
