Horns! And More Horns!

America's love affair with horn-driven combos has a proven track record. From the Big Bands until the present, we've gone ga-ga over honking sax, ear-tingling trumpets and trombone glissando - Tower of Power, Deep Banana Blackout, Breakestra and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band are all great examples.

On top of the music, which is amazing, you've also got the spectacle to go along with it. Put loud horns in a room with the energy of a rock band and the air turns electric. Sure, horn combos sound great on record. But, you really need to see them live:



That's Post Traumatic Funk Syndrome, Fargo's own funky love letter to the horn combo, and they will squeeze all the energy they can into the HoDo Lounge tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. (Visit their web site here, and check out more YouTube fun here) It's gonna be like lightnin' in a bottle. There's a $5 cover and it's 21+ (sorry, minors). Get yer funk on!
