The sound of Treme hits London

The Soul Rebels Brass Band - the musical stars of HBO hit show Treme - take time off-set to play a one-off London gig at this year's Festival. You may have already seen them live, or perhaps heard about their live shows - they're fast gaining a reputation as a band able to get anyone on their feet and dancing. Even your dad, you might ask? Might be worth getting down to the Queen Elizabeth Hall this November to find out.

At last year's Festival, they had a crowd of people snaking around the venue doing the conga. And back in July this year, they had a typically passive Ronnie Scott's audience on their feet and dancing for most of the night - the higlight being the sight of a 200-strong group crouching down, and doing the twist, in answer to the question "how low can you go?". Bring back any old school memories...? It did for me. Check in at 2 mins 40 secs..

Anyway. Veering off subject there. We've giving away free downloads of three tracks from their new Rounder album, Unlock Your Mind. 

If you like what you've heard so far, then leave a comment on the blog, and we'll put you in a wee prize draw to win a copy of the album on CD (which is out next week). I'll see who responds, and then make a draw at the end of the week. Then perhaps we can entice you to come and hear the live show? Click here for the full gig info.
