Brooklyn Interlude

Just as the brothers are packing their bags and crossing the Atlantic for a little breather back in the United States, the New Yorker magazine is publishing a mad decent write-up about your favorite Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. (You can read Sasha Frere-Jones' article here.) Although everybody is not sure they like how they look in Pablo Lobato's cartoon, (whatever happened to Hudah's head? And to Yosh's jumbo jaw? WTF!), the article was a nice reminder that not everyone back at home is sleeping on the best brass act in the galaxies.


Trouble brewing: the Bass Section.



The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse a.k.a the Trumpet Section.



Hypnotic in sunny Norway, hanging ninja-style on the docks.


So if you felt a little tear coming cause you missed Hypnotic when they came to your hood (peep the above video from the Paris gig at New Morning and see if you don't feel like hitting yourself upside the head for staying in and ordering Chinese), or if the brothers' European circuit hasn't hit your town yet, just know that we'll back in a minute with renewed bounce, beats and vision.

In the mean time, mosey on to iTunes and cop our new album on Honest Jons. And if you're in Europe, well, you already know a little visit to HMV is all you need to do to dramatically improve your day. As true brass addicts know, securing a little Hypnotic love between live shows is never a bad idea.
