Delirium Street Party Brass House of the Rising Sun

Released Feb 14, 2019

Delirium Street Party Brass is a ground-breaking brass band from Calgary formed in 2012 to apply New Orleans party Brass Band instrumentation (e.g. “The Soul Rebels”) to pop, rock and ska music (e.g. “No Doubt”), with a street-style performance vibe. The band evolved its sound, arrangements, and membership eventually coalescing around Margo Laing’s vocal performances. This album celebrates Margo’s influence on the band from 2015 until 2017 when she suffered a stroke, from which she is still recovering.

We’re hitting Rockin 4 Dollars Wednesday with new tunes. It’s Fleetwood Mac night! If you have never been, this week is your chance. It’s a great opportunity to hear up-and-coming bands in Calgary, or established bands having fun and trying new material.

We have "Hooked On A Feeling", our secret Fleetwood Mac horn extravaganza, and then either "Born This Way" or our new original "Stroke Therapy" — depending on your votes. So send us a note and we’ll see you Wednesday at Broken City!
