Description
We are a marching percussion band – a bone-shaking recycled orchestra – a superhero sonic force of resistance to be reckoned with!
We make percussion on tuned cans, hubcaps and barrels, drums, pieces of sheet metal, and homemade oddities.
We appear invited and uninvited at protests and celebrations, furors and fracases, anywhere there's a need to make a ruckus, to shout out and help right injustice, suffering, and oppression, to make a big noise to celebrate our victories and our losses.
Come join us!
