Extra Action Marching Band - Live

30-person marching band from Oakland playing funk/latin/afrobeat. They’re a blast to see live -- they burst in and run around and gyrate on the floor, and crash lots of events and parties. Mucho horns and drums and a drum major squawking through a megaphone. The recording loses some of the energy and craziness of the live shows and forces you notice things like the out-of-tune horns – but still fun and rockin'
