Does anyone know the name of the brass band that played in front of the Davis Square subway station on the 17th?

They were awesome!

Was it by chance Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band (http://www.ensmb.com)? Whenever someone mentions "Davis Square" and "brass band" in the same sentence, that's who I think of.

No, we (Emperor Norton's) weren't busking on the 17th.

[shameless plug] If you want to see us perform though, come to Bohemian Bacchanalia (http://www.cluboberon.com/events/bohemian-bacchanalia-0) at Oberon next week! [/shameless]

Your (ENSMB) music was in one of the movies running at the s'ville theater last nite, tho! "steam driven" was playing at the sci fi movie festival.

I was thinking "man that sounds just like ENSMB, in fact that song sounds like Bella Ciao" ... And, in fact!

Due to the featured reed and string instruments, ENSMB rarely described as a "brass band", which suggests to me it might have been the Second-Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society, Somerville's other Honk! band and more conventionally a "brass band".

It was. They were raising money to get them down to Austin for Honk! Austin.

It was totally Second-Line!

Thanks, everyone!

could of been "Dirty Water" they practice in Davis Square ( possibly reside in also)

I totally saw them, they were awesome, and were announcing themselves after every song (It was nice enough out that I stayed to listen to two or three).

Definitely Second Line. They made me super happy, thanks guys!

For years I've seen Second Line occasionally show up in Davis Square or on the residential side streets near me. But never before in February! Such a wacky non-winter we're having.

I was there. It was Second-Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society,
