Rockin the party in your pants and earholes 24/7 with flags drums and horns.
The Extra Action Marching Band is a collision of big band and ecstatic turmoil. Despite their name they rarely march, but rather shimmy, crawl, mob and charge. Trumpets pounce like eagles, tubas drip ass-bouncing blurps from fat fingers. Drums shudder under wild eyed, white knuckled drummers. Through it all winds the flag team,, glittering and sinuous creatures, who masterfully pulsate pom-poms in a hypnotic fantasy. The listener is hoodwinked, soaked, and savaged into giddy abandon. Powerful and empowering, the Extra Action Marching Band seduces the pre-civilized will. They are immediate and visceral. They are a parody of idioms with shattering volume - guerrilla theater with the rug rolled up. Extra Action has performed in back alleys, the countryside of Serbia, and at the Hollywood Bowl. They have played Black Sabbath in a synagogue for dancing octogenarians, - but the preferred venue is a small ,locked room with the heat turned up. As the sound boils into a spinning crossfire, sweat and flying hair tangle in a delicious knot. Audience and band submit together, to each other, to the whim and fancy, to satisfaction. Irresistible.
