The Hot 8 Brass Band - Tombstone OUT TODAY

Out now, ‘Tombstone’ is Hot 8 Brass Band’s third LP. The second installment in a two-album set, it closely follows it’s counterpoint to the straight-up party side of the band showcased on ‘The Life & Times Of…’. Thematically a more sombre, emotional record, it presents another chapter in the history of the Hot 8 Brass Band – a new window onto the lives, the friendships, the heartbreaks, the roots and culture of New Orleans brass music and its players. The majority of the songs are personal dedications, in memory of the four Hot 8 band members, and other musicians and dear friends, who have passed away. And those that aren’t dedication songs are new, original Hot 8 jams, party tunes that remind us – and the band – of why the music is worth it all; setting the scene for where the band are at today, while their city and its people still bear the scars of Hurricane Katrina, and where they are carrying the spirit next.

Hot 8 Brass Band - 'Milwaukee Fat / Hot 8 Sh*t'

Out now “Milwaukee Fat” unveils two stunning new original songs from the Hot 8 Brass Band. This is the first single to be lifted from ‘Tombstone’ (out on 20th May), their upcoming third LP and the sister album to November 2012’s ‘The Life & Times Of…’ which gained heavy radio play and four and five star reviews across the board including The Observer, MOJO, Metro, Songlines and The Big Issue.

These original songs from the Hot 8 perfectly showcase the energy of the brass collective. For anyone unfamiliar with the band, they are the New Orleans’ premier purveyors of roof raising, jazz infused, funk and hip hop fueled marching band music, straight from the heart and fresh from the second line parades.

Full Thought publish these new tracks and can also clear master rights directly with Tru Thoughts - give us a shout if you're interested in using any of the Hot 8 Brass Band's music: mail@fullthought.co.uk
