Extra Action Marching Band

A 30 member musical performance group from Oakland/San Francisco recently left on a European tour leaving admirers and unwitting witnesses in their sequin-spewing wake.

Manifesto:
We, the EXTRA ACTION MARCHING BAND, shuffle, loiter, charge, and crawl around embracing our environment and quite frequently our audience. Defying categorization, this mutant lovechild of traditional peripatetic music and ecstatic turmoil consists of a hypnotic and driving drum section, a "smoking" horn line (w/a touch of sound effects), and is lead by a brutally sexy and provocative flag team. An Extra Action performance is a celebratory, transcendent spectacle that entices, amuses, arouses, and intoxicates the audience.

ABOUT

* The BROKEN HALLELUJAH name is taken from "Hallelujah", a song by Leonard Cohen.

* Easy Bake Coven , my previous website, ran from 2002 - 2009. It was time for a change so it will now be a mostly music-related website. All of our old EBC posts are stored there and here as well.
