Imagine the glorious racket of three trombones, a bass clarinet, a harmonica and loping drums.
You’ll hardly have time to absorb that aural sensation before the Brass Yourself troupe get on the saxophones, tubas and trumpets accompanied by the beatific shriek of Nina McSweeney’s perfectly polished tonsils.
The six piece band are a honk-driven Frankenstein sewn together from members of Hopetoun Brown, Carnivorous Plant Society and The Barrow Brass Band with McSweeney balanced atop this gleaming pile of horns.
You’ll also hear the baritone larynx of Tim Stewart and the finest, most swingingest drums of Al Deverick, recently returned from a lap around the globe playing for Neil Finn.
Doors open at 4pm and tickets are available at undertheradar.co.nz for this one-off concert at Leigh Sawmill on Sunday March 6.
Children accompanied by an adult get in free.
